But the cold winter got to me too, and I also stumbled upon a two-story restaurant too, and took my boys there for a couple hours. It was fantastic - other parents were friendly and nice, it was clean, and the kids were so freaking thrilled with their crappy, two-cent toy that it totally made their entire weekend.<BR/><BR/>I'll definitely be going back :-)<BR/><BR/>p.s.

But then he never really liked the McD playlands much when he was Graham's age.<BR/><BR/>The girlie needs her fix every so often though, and that's just fine by me. I just wish, especially now, that they made better salads (do they even still serve salads???!!!)<BR/><BR/>I was thinking the same about other indoor playgrounds, if there are any in your neighbourhood. I think a lot of those places tend to be frequented more by SAHM's, the hours aren't great for moms who work out of the home. And then again, you can't really beat "free" on a weekend morning either. <BR/><BR/>Good for you for taking the break!Karen MEGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10834425321020756655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-454432385331536006.post-46958197348942077352008-12-16T17:16:00.000-05:002008-12-16T17:16:00.000-05:00A lot of MickyD's Stateside also have WIFI.
