While Daddy was driving this morning listening to sports talk radio there was mention of a Nascar parade happening in Philly today. After some meeting schedule work, Daddy made a u-turn and picked up Alex at school. Everyone was very surprised (and concerned) that Daddy was back at school at 10am, but Alex was very quickly excited about doing something really fun when Daddy told him about going to see racecars. We had street truck hot dogs, saw lots of racecars, pace cars, saw them drive around the streets, and got pictures with the cars. Alex even got lug nuts from on of the race teams after they had to change a burned up tire. He now uses them as quite the conversation piece.
Alex chose Stella Pizzeria for lunch and took down a big gelato. When we got home, we went for a bike ride into town to shop for mother's day gifts. Then watched some Princeton baseball on our way back. It was quite the man day. His teacher said they got a full blow by blow description of his entire adventure the next day at school.
