Like father, like son. No day of the year might that be more true for my son and myself han the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. Why that day you ask? Because there is no other day of the year when there is more big-time auto racing on television than this day. And I am proud to say I have created a certified racing nut in my son.
Our Sunday schedule will be something along these lines. Watching the Formula 1 race from Monaco at 7AM until just a little past 10AM. During that time we will have our breakfast together. At the conclusion of the Formula one race, it's shower time and then out the door.
Before you think I'm the kind of father who would keep his son inside all day on a bright, sunny day like this, next on our schedule is The Camden Children's Garden. By living on the Camden Waterfront we are literally across the street from the Children's Garden, along with the Adventure Aquarium, and the Battleship New Jersey.
The Children's Garden has dancing water, great on a day like this, a train to ride on, a carousel, mazes, and a view of the penguin area of the aquarium. We did all that and managed to see the feeding of the penguins, all by noon.
Next on the schedule is more racing. We settle into lunch as we prepare for the start of the Indy 500. This will take up most of our afternoon, and my son will probably take a nap during the race. Hopefully he will awake in time to see the finish of the Indy 500, and the start of the Nascar Coca-Cola 600.
Sometime during this time we will do some dinner, and the reading of some books. With our day ending well into the night, we will both go to bed happy.
LIKE FATHER LIKE SON!
