For our anniversary trip this year Alex and I went to Pella to see the tulips, but we went the Tuesday and Wednesday after the actual Tulip Festival so we wouldn't have to fight the crowds. We enjoyed the flowers a lot--they were all at their peak, which was neat. Our supper at Strawtown Inn was disappointing--we had heard great things, but perhaps their regular staff was all on vacation after the busy weekend, because neither food nor service was good. We did find a great little cafe/coffee house/soda fountain just off the square for dessert, a Moose Tracks waffle cone that was superb. The next day we had Double Dutch sandwiches--pella bologna and gouda cheese on hard rolls--and some almond apricot streudal that was amazing. We ate it while watching buffalo at Neal Smith Prairie Refuge. For more pix, see link below.
