Sea of Tulips in Seattle USA

Yup, it seems that Skagit Valley which is about 1 hr drive north of Seattle grows tulips. And for the month of April, they have tulip festival. Derrick heard about this place from his boss and we decided to invite all the fellow friends to go too.

So 9 of us head up to Skagit Valley for Tulips.. The tulips were amazing.. They are much bigger sized than the ones i ever seen before. And when u get a sea of tulips, they are beyond description. And there are so many varieties of tulips grown, definitely an eye opener.

While we were there, we decided to visit few of the farms there such as the vineyard, cheese and the Shellfish farm. Yes.. At the shellfish, we bought 2 dungeon crabs, 3 dozen of oysters, 1 bag of mussels and 1 bag of clams. And we are equipped for our feast.. On the way back, we stopped by walmart to get some of the ingredients for the feast.

And cooking was a super busy affair at Kelvin's and Aaron's place. Imagine 7 people tryin to cook. We had raw oysters, grilled oysters, steamed mussels and clams, grilled mushroms, cooked stuff, chilli crab, pepper crab, with fried man tou, pasta, potatos, etc.. It's realli a big feast and there wasn't enough table space for us. it was fun cooking and eating with so many people. Never mind the mess and cleaning up though..

It's fun as everyone chipped in to help. Cooking, cleaning and even playin game (Streetfighter) on Xbox. And... we announce Junyong as the all-time player for that, he can even tell you the features in that version of Streetfighter.. Dun play play.. =P
