It was raining cats and dogs in the morning, so we stayed in bed until the rugrat got up. After breakfast/lunch we went up to north Austin to a combination arcade/restaurant. We had a good time. I was getting pretty bored until I found a game that involved dropping coins through a set of pins onto a push plate. If the coins dropped in the right manner, you got tickets.
Ellen and the kid ran the coin controls. I watched the push plate. It was lots of fun to see the way the coins moved. We spent hours, and most of money on it. Halfway through we stopped for a early dinner. It was also a chance to get some more arcade credit. The bar had a lot of TVs set to sports channels. I watched the last seconds of Duke losing in the ACC. I love it.
At the end we had collected almost 4500 tickets. We spent them on a sweatshirt for the rugrat and a couple of small presents for the nieces.
Traffic wasn't bad on the way home. Now we're surfing while the rugrat does homework.
