Skagit Valley Tulip Festival with Washington Shoe Company {coupon codes included}

Every year we celebrate the arrival of spring with two big events: the purchase of new rain boots and then a visit to the tulip fields. This year was extra exciting for me because it was my turn for new boots. I was realizing that it had been nearly 7 years since my last new rain boots, so it seemed like kismet when I got an email from one of my very favorite boot brands, Washington Shoe Company {known to consumers as Western Chief and Chooka Boots} offered to send me a pair specifically for visiting the tulips this spring.They sent me these little cuties, which I have found are not only awesome for tulip visits, but also are great for gardening, pressure washing, and even backyard spring parties. I love that they are the perfect height for wearing in mud and water, but more shoe-like so I could potentially wear them all day long. Oh, and did I mention how comfortable they are?

In addition to sending me awesome new boots, Washington Shoe Company, arranged a special tulip tour this month for some of my favorite local bloggers where we could check out the fields, enjoy a nice lunch overlooking a vineyard, and show off our boots. My kids were loving their Western Chief boots for the tour while I rocked the new Chooka boots. During our tulip tour, we learned about 2016 boot trends for women {florals, vintage designs, and pastels are big this year, as are the shorter boots and duck boots} and what was on the horizon for the coming months {including the coolest roll-up travel boots I have ever seen. I neeeed them}. 

We got to see the whimsical styles for women from Western Chief and the more sophisticated look of the Chooka boots, and there were so many styles I would love. As for my kids? They have decided that next spring they will get the new Star Wars licensed rain gear for Western Chief kids that comes out in the fall. My son thinks he really, really needs the Darth Vadar coat, umbrella, and boots. My daughter obviously will get the R2D2 boots. But for now, they are enjoying their Batman and Fire Fighter rain gear, including “testing” their rain coats while playing with the hose. I think we can call this a passing grade.
