Trip to the artsy-fartsy side...

Every now and then I have to get a little culture and this certainly means a road trip away from Tifton.  Even if I hadn't felt the need for an art-fix, my sister Delecta's birthday required us to travel to her home in Greenville, SC.  "Required?" you say?  By all means...a must.  We received a multitude of photos, texts, and voice messages from Marli Claire (Delecta's daughter) begging us to come see her.  Yes, Marli is only 2 and couldn't possibly have instigated these bribes.  Delecta is quite persuasive when her birthday and celebrations are involved! I won't complain...I was thrilled to see Marli AND a Dr. Seuss art exhibit.  What a weekend!  Here are a few photos from the beautiful downtown area of Greenville:



After a delightfully warm afternoon in the park, we made the necessary stop at Luna Rosa, a scrumptious gelato shop.  Obviously Marli Claire enjoyed it very much!


  
This sign immediately caught my eye as we searched for a parking spot (almost an impossible find in downtown on a Sunday afternoon!)  Thankfully, Andy the chauffer agreed to stop for a quick peek in The Midtown Artery gallery.  Dr. Seuss was quite an accomplished sculptor and watercolorist in addition to his whimsical illustrations.  It was a joy to get to see some of his work up close and personal.
