Hi Lauren, Thanks again for all of the info– you rock. I went with my 4 year old to the Noodle Market/ Photo exhibit. It was great! I just put a blog post up about it and a link to you– because you are so awesome. Thanks again.
By the way, didn’t make it to Sculpture by the Sea earlier in the week– but am going tomorrow!
