Tim and Renee came with.  I drove and was getting about 36 mpg according to my car, so it&#8217;s really a good car to take on trips.  Traffic wasn&#8217;t too bad, but then again it&#8217;s no where close to being a holiday and I don&#8217;t believe shopping season is really in swing yet.<\/p>\n<p>We went to <a title=\"Remember to try a recipe from a card\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gomongo.com\/\">BD&#8217;s Mongolian Barbeque<\/a>.  That place is always good.  Found out that Tim likes things a bit hotter than everyone else.  How hot?  Hot enough that you can feel it in your sinuses.  Rick and Melissa paid for Tim&#8217;s dinner and Renee and I pitched in for a card to GameStop, so Tim got a bit of a surprise, since his birthday was a week ago.  We didn&#8217;t forget, we just had to postpone it.<\/p>\n<p>We went to Damon Busters next, which is kind of fun.  I mean, it&#8217;s usually a lot of fun, but the basketball game was busted for most of the night, so we didn&#8217;t all get to play.  When we did get to play I did well, but Tim beat me twice by one basket.  We all played the trivia game, this game where you have to roll tokens down a ramp and get points, and skeet ball, it was fun.  We won a bunch of tickets, but there wasn&#8217;t anything really that interesting to get, so we just had them put the tickets on a card and we left.<\/p>\n<p>We went back and played Rock Band for a bit, but I was feeling a bit under the weather so we decided to head home a bit earlier than we had originally intended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I took a trip to Columbus to see Rick and Melissa.
