Quick update on one of our favorite rainy day sites. Let it be known that Winter 2008 has arrived in Elgin, IL. It is -4 deg out as I type and not getting any warmer. OUCH! That's cold and definitely not for the faint of heart. Needless to say, we are not heading to the zoos, Brookfield or Lincoln Park, today. Instead we decided to head to another great indoor spot, Mr Chuck E. Cheese's house. We made it there around 4:00 p.m. to find the place insanely busy. I have never been when there was a wait. Today we did. 30 minutes to be exact. Not a good mix with antsy little men and a cold draft streaming in from the door next to my ass. So we bailed. Instead we went to Red Robin (expensive again) and our local stand-bye: McDonald's. God I love that place. We spent $4:50 on a small coffee, a small coke and 2 small sundaes. About $31 less than Red Robin and the boys played in the habitrail for nearly an hour, burning off energy and giving mom and dad some time to chat (a rare thing these days).
I'm all about Mr. Cheese's house but today it all belonged to Ronald.
Pray for warm weather and a Packer's victory.
