 We'll be back right after order has been restored here in the Omni Center.

It's a German theme town, with all the awesome that implies. Great restaurants and just fun to walk around in during nice weather. There's also the usual go-kart/mini-golf stuff alongside the theme, in case ya get burnt out.

AWA, the mrs. and I were thinking of going up to the Dells. Any recommendations on where to stay/eat/play?

Solvang, CA - and Danish-themed town located in the Central Coast, heavily featured in the film Sideways. There's a bust of Hans Christian Anderson in the town's park, which I find hysterical.
It's actually a fairly affordable weekend as far as hotels go - but they get you at the restaurants. Also - my Swedish friend is heavily offended by what the Solvangians pass off as a Danish sausage.

The key to the adult Six Flags experience is to go back to the car for your lunch, which you have packed in a cooler along with copious amounts of beer.

Weird. My wife and I just took the baby there last week. I used to go all the time as a kid. I highly recommend the Hotel Corque. And the Chumash Casino is just four miles down the road.

Once they bring down the table minimums ($100 a hand at the public tables, REALLY? For blackjack!?), it will be Charlestown, WV only because it will be a shorter drive there than Atlantic City, NJ.
