Not really "For the Dude" I guess, but time was ticking.... a great event for the whole family THIS WEEKEND. What a fabulous way to learn more about going green in the city and a super fun way to spend a Saturday with the kiddos...

or maybe this would be the perfect opportunity "For the Dude" to take the kids while mama gets a much needed pedicure... oh, wait. did i say that out loud???
