Yesterday, I took my family to the Canadian Tulip Festival at Dow's Lake in Ottawa. We happened to be staying in nearby Gatineau, so this was a short trip.
I had previously written about our gift of tulips from Princess Juliana of the Netherlands, but I had never seen the tulips for myself. I can now confirm that they're real and they're spectacular.
Here are a few pictures I took of the Canadian Tulip Festival in Ottawa.
