Chalk the Walk

Spring has sprung (albeit a little late) in Iowa City! Recently Niles and I celebrated the amazing weather by going to Mt. Vernon's annual "Chalk the Walk." A fundraising event for the nearby city in which local and national artists flock to the barren midwest to create chalk drawings. Local businesses sponsor squares that were chalked by artists and there was also a large "community" picture of dogs playing poker. For $10 you could purchase a "square" and a box of chalk to contribute to the larger chalk drawing.
It really was a fun event, Niles and I ate lunch at the Lincoln Cafe (a place we've heard rave reviews about for dinner and want to try) and strolled with Bailey around charming, downtown Mt. Vernon.
