Since we live in a small town way out of the larger city of Houston Texas, we drove in to pick up our two grand sons to spend the day with them
while they were visiting their dad.
We had decided to take them to Chucky Cheese as all kids love that place.

Once the boys were loaded in the car, I ask them if they knew where the nearest one was, since they had been there before.
The oldest a 10 year old began to tell me to drive this way then turn here and then turn there.
The youngest a 7 year old, got all excited and said, Grand pa, Grand pa. He then leaned over the seat and stuck a token from
Chucky Cheese in my face and said, "See this picture" it had an impression of what I assumed was Chucky Cheese on it. He said
" when you see this sign, " "you are there".
And he was right, when we seen that sign, we were there.

Sandra and I have 11 grand kids and two great grands. This last year, we either had ten of them at our house or we went to visit them at their houses.
We took them camping at the ocean side and bought them school clothes and supplies, kept several of them for 2 weeks and drove from Texas to North
Carolina twice, plus a two week trip to Washington DC by airplane to assist in the moving of one of our daughters and her three kids while she was out of the country
(she works for the State Department).
This next year, we plan a 5 to 6 month trip around the US in our Motor Home, with NO KIDS. Just the TWO of us.

I plan to post our route on the Forum when we figure it out. Just incase some of you guys want to have a cup of coffee as we come through your areas.
Your treats of course.

We met some very nice folks the last time we did this.

Here in England, we don't have Chucky Cheese. Sometimes someone might give you a Stilton cheese and Bottle of Port as gift. No doubt they mean well, but I generally find there is a great deal of cheese left over .........

I have no intentions to insult your intelligence, but just incase you don't know what a Chucky Cheese is. I will explain. And if you already knew this please bear with me since I am old.

A Chucky cheese is a Pizza Parlor for kids. They have about a hundred different game machines for all ages and they are played with tokens that you purchase there. You take your kids there, receive a stamp on the hand to slow that you had kids when you arrived and this way they make sure you take yours home when you leave.
You purchase a pocket full of tokens and find a centrally located table and sit where your kids can find you, which they will frequently to beg for more tokens. You go ahead and order a couple of pizzas and drinks, and force the kids to stop long enough to eat and drink, to be sure they have sufficient strength to run to play more games.
In about an hour, they will all be back at the table with fist full of paper tickets they have won for spending your tokens in the machines ( absolutely no skills involved). Then they run the tickets through this shredder machine and it gives them a slip showing how many tokens they have won. Then they take this slip to the front desk to cash it in for crappie little toys. ( A small plastic spinning top cost about a million tokens).
Then you head for the exit where you will be checked to be sure you don't attempt to leave any kids there, then you drive back home as the kids all scream because their crappie little toys have broken. Usually, one of the kids will find a lonely lost token in his or her pocket and cry all the way home because you refuse to take them back to use it.
I hope this clears it up for you Roger.

That sums it up pretty good.

Always wondered if you got bonus tokens for leaving with more kids than you arrived with.

We will just have to go right along wondering John. I have no intentions of trying that.
