Ahhhh, The Tulip Festival

When I arrived to Iowa...yes! IOWA...I was cheerfully told that the next morning we would be awaking early in order to go to the Tulip Festival! Orange City, Iowa is famous for it's tulips and the Dutch traditions that go along with these flores.

So, as the sun was beginning to rise, we did as well. Orange City was awaiting us! I was introduced to a number of new things including wood carved shoes, poffertjes (baby pancakes) and other Dutch foods including Willemina Peppermints (YUM!).

What fun it was to be Dutch for a day!
