Art Prize

For the past two years or so Grand Rapids has a huge thing going on downtown called Art Prize I went last year and LOVE it, so this year we went again. It was just as great as last year. We saw a sculpture made out if encyclopedia pages, a bridge made out of pop bottle tops, a huge chair and I mean huge chair, and a lot of other neat art. Pictures to follow, I just don't have time due to a birthday party for my sister in law, hopefully tomorrow. One of my favorites was the monkeys hanging from the bridge. The only down fall, is that it is basically all over Grand Rapids that you really don't know where everything is, not only that but it is so busy everywhere, so there is some art that we missed, but I think it might be impossible to look at every piece unless you had like the whole afternoon and had your route all mapped out.
Last year we got luck enough to find free parking, so this year that was kinda of the goal we had. We drove around and finally found a meter. For those of you who don't know they are free on the weekends, the only test was that I had to parallel park. Something that I haven't done since I took my test. Well I was up for the challenge, and it took me a few tries, good thing that the road wasn't to busy, and after the second or third try I succeeded. So I have to pat my self on the back for a job well done!
