Veg Out IV: Day 2

We woke up pretty early today in order to catch breakfast at a local place famous for its ginormous pancakes. On the way there, we were interrupted by a Memorial Day parade and we were forced to alter our route, eventually finding parking in some residential neighborhood. As we approached, only a few of us knew the building in front was a restaurant. The restaurant's name was Marshalls and the sign looked almost exactly like that of the clothing store line leaving us out-of-staters wondering if in Ohio, department stores also serve breakfast. The pancakes certainly lived up to the billing as they were about the size of Earth's orbit in diameter (Yes Yes, Earth has an elliptical orbit). Most of us couldn't finish our breakfasts as the food was too overpowering.

Battling food comas, we picked up Catnipped from the airport and headed to Dave and Busters for some gaming. We tried out most of the arcade shooters there, with the worst being some kinda VR headset simulation. The thing totally sucked as you had no peripheral vision and enemies would just walk up to you from behind and lob grenades at you until you died. We also did some Hoops games and skeet ball as well as setting the new high score of 67 in this virtual bowling game. For all of our efforts, =VGI= was awarded with a Dave and Busters pack of playing cards, WOOTZ ORE!

After Dave and Busters, we went to a Japanese Habachi grill to help wash down that early morning feast. It was good food all around as we gorged ourselves back into another food coma. Luckily, we did some walking around afterwards with Frisbee golf. I had never played this before but the goal is to toss some specially designed Frisbees into specially made baskets. The course was modeled after golf with 18 baskets placed around a course. Each basket had a certain number of tosses associated with it. The object was to complete the 18 basket course in as few tosses as possible. Because of our awesome skill at tossing Frisbees, we spent the majority of time searching for errant Frisbees in trees than actually playing the course.

For dinner, we decided to go light and ate at a local Sushi place, then caught Iron Man at an all digital movie theater. We finished up the rest of the night with BANG! and limited amounts of Rock Band.
