Escape the Darkside, and the start of Christmas shopping
For Easton's birthday, part of his gift was an escape room. He loves riddles and we thought this would be fun. We originally had planned to do do the Super Mario theme escape room but unfortunately when we called to book they had just changed it to the new themes. So... from the new themes we chose Escape the Darkside. When we arrived we were given instructions and a lightsaber, and then... we had to figure out how to start the Millennium Falcon and escape the darkside. Both kids were a little afraid as we started in the dark but as we solved puzzles and made it through the lazers, I think they began to enjoy it more.
This was my first time doing an escape room. I think the kids thought finding a key behind a picture was pretty awesome!
This week I also had two shopping adventures. One with my brother Joe that was super successful. I think we mostly finished off all of the kids. I think I have one thing left to buy for Christmas.
Now... the adult shopping is another story.
Good thing I still have a month!
The other shopping was with my friend Christine from college. This shopping trip was less successful and more about catching up in a warm space.
We planned this day a while ago, and then this morning realized how crazy this idea was as it was black Friday shopping. Lines were long, and people were everywhere!
So, we mostly mall walked and then went for lunch.
Good exercise anyway!
