We spent the morning going to Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum.

I dragged my parent's there about 18 years ago...and when I told my dad I wanted to go again, he said, "That place is still open? How the fuck do you find these places? How many people are like you?" I took that as a compliment.

Indeed, if you didn't know it was there, you'd never find it. It's like, behind a strip mall...but is it ever cool. Hundreds of crazy games and rides and nutty things crammed into every corner of this smallish place. And you know what, I bet my dad used more quarters than I did ;) The only thing I was disappointed about was that they had all the old animated figures from Chuck E. Cheese, except for Chuck E...who was there last time. Where the hell did Chuck E. go?

Oh well, I ended up with enough tickets to get 3 fortune fish, a t-shirt, a slap bracelet, some Harry Potter glasses, a stuffed rose, and a pack of snapping trick gum...which probably cost us $50 in quarters and none of which I will ever use. But such is the fun of an arcade, right?

After the museum, we went to the Made in Michigan Festival...of which my dad proclaimed..."They sure don't make alot of shit in Michigan, do they?" and finished with, "I'll tell you, that kinda sucked. No, actually, it definitely sucked." The festival might have been a disappointment, but at least we spent the whole day laughing.

Again, I'm struggling with going back home.

Tonight I'm going out with Stewart again...and I'm looking forward to that, too. :)
