Bye, bye Martin Truex.....

I know most of my regular readers will have no idea the meaning to the Title of this post but as always I will do my best to bring you up to speed.

As everyone knows I have become quite the Nascar buff and last year they had a contest during which the winner would get a call from their favorite driver and one of the best commercials on the radio for the contest was a little girl (probably 3-4 years old) who answered her daddy's cell phone when it rang. Well it turns out it was the winning call from Martin Truex Jr. and while the daddy was trying to get the phone from her the little girl says in the sweetest voice - "Bye, bye Martin Truex".

Now what does that have to do with me? Well Martin Truex Jr. is sponsored by Bass Pro Shops and it just so happens that we now have our very own shopping paradise in New England.

I was able to spend the afternoon with the family and we decided to take a trip out to the Boston area. I showed the kids where my office in Boston was which may not seem that exciting but at least they have an idea of where I go when I say I'm going to the office rather than working from my home location.

We had a great afternoon and evening together and enjoyed checking out the new store. As usual I was totally unprepared and failed to bring my camera with me. Thankfully I had my cell phone which takes so-so pictures and now I have an excuse to drag the family out to the store again in the near future!

The kids had a great time checking out the fish and turtles in the natural aquarium as well as the traditional style aquarium tank. Ariel had a bowfin that seemed to take a fancy to her and followed her wherever she moved along the glass and Alex was quite impressed with his buddy, a rather hefty carp! It was quite exciting bonus for us when feeding time occurred while we were all gazing through the glass! They both were able to get a souvenir penny from the crank press which had several different designs and each took a turn at the automated shooting range.
