Day 122: Keep my tulips waiting

Today we spent a few hours in Washington Park at the annual Tulip Festival. It was an interesting moment as on our last trip as a family to the area in May 2006, we saw the tulips on a similarly sunny day, just a week or so before the festival was to take place. There was live music (most of what we heard was by The Cinematics - a Glasgow band, as it turns out - a long way from home). Exile #3 was also determined to visit the Toyota "Highway of the Future" exhibit - so we did and walked away with a flashlight that uses motion to recharge. We also heard the song alluded to in today's title, when Exile #3 reacted to it with a little dancing, Exile #2 told her that I used to be in a band that played it. That was some time ago mind you.

Before our trip to the park, we did some more house-hunting - including a visit to a house we nearly bought in September of last year - still on the market and still appealing to us. Who knows?


So, it's pop pun #16 (actually stretching the definition of 'pop' a bit): Baby, don't-cha know that it's rude?
