Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for May 15, 2024

Here’s a better idea: Go to American Legion Post 447 in Wyandotte, Michigan, the perfect place to park to watch trains and learn about the history of the former Grand Trunk Western, Lake Shore & Michigan Southern and Michigan Central , and Detroit Toledo & Ironton lines that run through the area. It might not be your ideal vacation, but it sure is somebody’s!

Pathetic, Darryl and Wanda

Let’s see, “NO!”

Why?

Assuming you can find a Chuck E. Cheese that’s still open…

Throughout my childhood, we went camping (all eight of us) every summer. We traveled around different states, saw the sites, but always with our tent. For years, I didn’t know that there was any other way to do vacation. I suppose it made the most financial sense with our large family.

True Story: I consider it among the most important achievements of my dadhood that I NEVER set foot into that hideous bacteria pit.

We had and old camper we set up in New Jersey, and traveled all around from there, good memories!

Does Chuck E Cheese still exist?

I’ll bet you that Darryl knows how to pitch a tent.

Really? Are they that stingy?

Set up tents in the back yard, put the pool by the sand box so you’ll have a beach and voila, lake side camping. Can’t get any cheaper than that.

On to Tombstone,Arizona—-the Gunfight at the OK Corral re-enected every day

John Oliver did a hilarious…and informative 30 min segment on the history of Chuck E Cheese. It’s on YouTube.

I recall one vacation arc where Darryl thought they were going to his parents’ house, and Wanda thought they were going to hers. They ended up just stopping at a hotel (motel?) and had a wonderful time.

I was doing staycations before it was a word.

Probably not.

considering Hammie’s behavior, I’m thinkin’ even Chuck E Cheese wouldn’t allow him in!
