June 27 2010 - Discovering Dave and Busters

Hey there

We spent the morning at home today. Just hanging around, relaxing, watching TV and surfing the internet.

In the afternoon we drove to the big mall to go to Dave and Busters. Sandy's niece Sunshine has a son, Bubba, who was celebrating his 13th birthday there.


Sunshine, Bubba and me (obviously :))

I had never been to a Dave and Buster's before so I did not really know what to expect.

The place has to stories, the top one is more for adults. It's a restaurant and there is a bar with billiard tables etc. The lower level is like a giant game room. SO what you do is buy a kind of card that allows you to play all the different games there are. They have trivia games, basketball games, wheel of fortune kind of games and many many more. There's also this game with the huge crawl where you have to try and fish a stuffed animal out of a 'bucket'. Sandy won a San Antonio Spurs teddy bear and the two boys each won a giant boxing glove, one in blue and one in pink.

Yesterday, Sandy had told me about chocolate martinis and I was eager to try one. So we hit the Dave and Busters bar and ordered. Of course the girl wanted to see my ID. I handed her my driver's license. She looked at it for a while before asking me where I was from. When she heard I was from Switzerland she started speaking to me in German, not perfect German but I totally understood her. That was kind of cool.


She mixed our Martinis and let me tell you, omg, I love chocolate martinis!!!!!!!!

That night at home the boys decided they were in the mood for pizza so we ordered pizza over the phone and had it delivered to the house. That's another american thing I really wanted to experience. It was awesome :) (I know I'm weird :) )
We watched the Daytime Emmys (Emmys for soap operas) and then, I got to watch the new True Blood episode on an actual TV instead of a computer screen!!!!

Oh and I have a new favorite ad, here's the link, watch it, it's worth it (maybe it's on Swiss TV too):
