If you don't like seeing hundreds of pictures of flowers, you might
want to skip this post. This weekend we went to the Netherlands. This
was the first time for Ethan and I and the second time for Quinn. Ethan
has now been to 9 countries, too bad they don't stamp his doggy
passport. Yes, he has a passport. It is for traveling around European
Union countries to ensure that his vaccinations are up to date.
Anyway, we drove to the Netherlands to check out the Keukenhof flower park. This park boasts the most beautiful and plentiful flower growing area in the Netherlands. The park is in full bloom between March and May. I have heard that it is best to go in Mid March but since it has been so cold here for so long, the flowers bloomed a little late. I think we hit the season perfectly. The drive was less than 4 hours and we brought the bikes along. Here is Quinn with our new bike rack set up! It is pretty sweet to be able to carry them on the car and not have to spend 45 minutes bungee cording them to the back.
There were both indoor and outdoor displays and gardens. Here is a taste of the gardens. Quinn wanted me to add that none of these pictures have been edited to change the saturation. They are really this colorful.
They go to great lengths to ensure that the park is well manicured. There was even a man washing and using a squeegee on the benches.
