today ends another stretch of Wide Open Walls here in Sacramento. murals have been completed all around our city, and last night we took some time to see the finishing touches being placed on a few of the pieces. even though it is still august, we are starting to feel hints of fall, cool breezes are making our mornings and evenings just perfect, and midtown was no exception last night.
one our our first stops was the tao center for healing
@caratoes was just finishing her piece
and the breeze going through her particular alley was perfection
taking advantage of the postings on the Wide Open Walls instagram
account helped us navigate our walk. we did run into an older group out
on the same adventure, with their pre-printed maps of the mural
locations - we all figured it out somehow! 
we chose to walk the midtown section and grabbed some dinner at the Iron Horse Tavern. celebrating the end of our first full week of school was
worth a night out as a family! two IB meetings, one PTO meeting, one
IB booster club meeting, back to school night for ev, one department
meeting, and five days of teaching meant I was ready just to enjoy some
art and good food!
ev found this heart leaf after dinner. 
after three bathroom stops on our way back to the car - everly and lemonade and walking do not mix, we decided to drive to the last mural we wanted to check out. 
looking forward to finding the rest of these gems in the weeks to come.
