So the rest of sunday after ikea we went to dave and busters. Janelle, anna-kate and the crabbs took me to a land of food and video games.
The food was surprisingly good. I got the chicken parmesian and afredo pasta and was suprised to find it pretty good. They have a pretty sweet deal where you get an entree and 50 tokens for 15 bucks. So we ate and then gamed it up.
The first game i played though sort of ruined the night. I got in this flight simulator kind of thing.... on a full stomach. And it wasn't even a flight simulator, b/c that probably would have been better. It was some sort of robot simulator that basically just jerked around a lot and made me nauscious for the remainder of the night.
We played a good deal of air hockey, skee ball, basketball and a shooter game or two.
All in all it was a real blast but I realized that the days of arcades having the sweet new games is long gone. I was playing a few games and thought to myself, "My xbox is better than this..."
I mean one of the big games was need for speed.... which i had on the gamecube.
The kids generally enjoyed it all too but it was probably a bit too much stimulation for them. Granted Anna-Kate passed out when we got home so she was probably due for some over stimulation.
