Our last day in The Netherlands we drove out to The Hague and looked around, then drove along the coast thru the tulip fields.
Matt was most interested in seeing this building...The Palace of Peace
Our trip through the Tulip fields was interesting. I had imagined in my head seeing rows and rows of various colored petal bliss. I actually "borrowed" the above picture from a friend...it depicts perfectly what I had hoped I would see...
but, alas, we were a few days too late...
most of the tulip petals had fallen and lay in between the rows waiting for the wind to carry them off.
Here is a small field with a few tulips still holding onto their petals.
We found this lonely strip of yellows...
and far off in the distance we found a patch of reds.
Not the tulip sight we had hoped for, but after all we were going at the end of May. So our hopes weren't that high. It was still fun trying to spot tulips, the whole family got into it and Matt tried not to groan too much at the million U-turns I made him take!
In the end, we called it an early night and went back to our lodging to eat dinner and hang out at the water park.
The kids were very happy!
