On Saturday, I got a call from my friend, Victoria, and soon, instead of spending the day cleaning, Lily and I were on our way with her to a Sidewalk Art Festival put on by the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD).  It turned out to be so much fun, and i am SO glad we went.  Here are the highlights . . .

• All the fun activities they had for kids – Lily got to play on some of those huge inflatable toys.
• The great art activities they had for her as well – it was put on by SCAD after all :).  She got to paint a sun-catcher, a rock, and get her face painted.  She loved it!
• A fun picnic lunch on the lawn.
• Looking at all the amazing things those SCAD students were able to do with a square of sidewalk and some chalk.
• Getting lots of exercise.  (That is my positive spin on the fact that we ended up parking about 15-20 blocks away – I lost track.)
• Having an AMAZING red velvet cupcake at the Back in the Day Bakery – something I have been dreaming about for a while.  So good, and so sad I don't have a picture of it.  Victoria tried out the lemon coconut, and Lily had a "newborn" cupcake, which is what they call the mini ones.  She had strawberry shortcake and loved it as well.
• Having the out of nowhere torrential rainstorm not start until we were 2 blocks from the car at the bakery.  I ran to get the car and got soaked from head to toe.  (Victoria and I were feeling bad for the artists whose art had to have been washed away by the rain.  So sad.)
• Getting out and enjoying Savannah.  We really are so lucky to live in such a fun place :).
