Well, it's the end of an era for our family. After 12 years of a monthly tradition, our favorite pizza place closed their doors. We met our friends here on the last day it was open, just to be able to say good-bye.
Where else could you go for $6.99 and get a great salad bar, amazing pizza, the latest movie, free game cards (if you brought your report card or had a coupon), and 3 hours of fun?
The kids played one last time on their favorite games. Everything went up for auction the next day, and most of these games sold for $1,200 or more!
We gathered up all our cards collected over the years and just let the kids use them all up. The points tally was pretty high, so they had fun picking out as many toys as possible. Did you know that 50 army parachute jumpers can all be released from the top of the stairs at one time? One big tangled mess is the result, though.
Before we left, we wanted our little "keepsake", so Eric bought a pizza pan for a few dollars. We'll take pride in using that for cookies, pizza, and anything else we feel, just knowing it's our own souvenir.
