Trinity Trip - The Tulip Festival, Albany

Tulip Festival may be a thing of the Pacific Midwest; however the 63rd Tulip Festival at Albany definitely puts up a good show!  This year the East Coast paid tribute to the Dutch Heritage on Mother’s Day weekend: May 6-8, 2011.

Inspired by the Season 4 of the famous US television series, “Dexter,” I call this a trinity trip. Everything related to the trip had to do with three.

Tribute to Love
>> 3 hours of drive to Albany...

>> 3 hours of hunt to park in Albany...

>> Eventually 3 hours of sight-seeing...

>> And well 3 hours’ drive back home...
Yes, I am not kidding. It’s neither a coincidence nor a joke; we did take that much time to hunt a parking lot. The festival is really popular!! There were at least a couple of thousands to admire the beauty of the colorful festival - old and young, couples and singles, families and friends.

FunFest with Ring Dancers
~~ Festival full of 'Performances n Dances' – Musicians, Ring Dancers, Singers…

~~ Festival full of 'Fun n Frolic' – Arts & Crafts, Live Music, Food, Amusements….

No amount of writing can describe the feast to the eye. We did capture the abundant colors… colorful flowers, colorful birds, and above all colorful people…colors that refresh life :-)
