august 29th - the vacation spirit lives

For one more day Alex kept the spirit of vacation...even if it was in a kid's play area at a Chick Fil'a on the side of route 13 in Smyrna, Delaware. Where the hell is Smyrna, Delaware? Well, i googled it and it is home of the last convicted murderer to be hanged in the United States. "Alex, let's not touch anything that doesn't belong to us!"

We made it back to Philly in time to put the kids down for a little nap and then went for a walk to re-stock our fridge. Not back in town for more than 2 hours and we got an unexpected dose of culture that we were missing down south....the Philly Naked Bike Ride passing right under our noses.  We told Alex that if Gramps recovers, it will be his first race back from injury. He said "why are they all naked mommy...gross!"
