Tulips are one of my favorite flowers. Every April The Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm invites the public to come wander their 40 acres of tulips during peak bloom. The farm is outside Portland, which is 4 hours away. Since Rob would rather not spend his weekend in a car going to see flowers (and I can’t blame him), I decided to go on my own during the week. It was spectacular. On a clear day, Mount Hood makes a stunning backdrop to the tulip field. As you will notice, it was not a clear day.
