Great gardens: Keukenhof!

The Keukenhof is heavenly.  I purposely saved going to this place for my 30th birthday because I was really looking forward to it, and it was everything I had hoped and dreamed.  I will let the pictures do the talking.

In case you couldn't guess, the red tulip background is also from the Keukenhof.  Those were my favorites -- bright red tulips about the size of little melons!

Now, should you ever want to visit, the Keukenhof gardens are in Lisse, The Netherlands, they are open for about 2 months in the spring only, and this is their website.  

Beautiful, isn't it!  "Hup, hup, hoera" for Dutch flowers!
