I just wanted to upload some more pictures of "our" arcade collection.  Funny thing, I'm sitting at home with my husband is off collecting a driving game, I forgot what it's called, but apparently at one point I wanted one.....weird....

It's a 3 hour drive but "it's such a great deal" so he was off in a heart beat to get it.  He took his oldest son with him and sent him running back in to get the camera so he could document every moment and put it up on his website.  Am I annoyed another one is coming into our garage that we already don't have enough room for?  Of course not, I wanted this game.........that I don't remember the name of.....that I've never played....that I know nothing about.

The picture of our van is the SECOND time our van broke down on the way to pick up an arcade.  We'll start with the first time.  We were only driving 40 minutes, I was 9 months pregnant (literally I had my baby 3 days later) and I was driving.  We just onto a major highway and our van quit working, just stopped.  To make the story short, my brother came and picked us up, went and picked up the arcade with us in his truck, brought us all the way back home.  While I was in labor with our son we got the phone call that our engine was blown.  Fast forward to the one pictured.  We drove 3 hours there, and were about an hour from home (so 5 hours on the road) and our van quit working.  Three days later we find out our transmission is blown.  Does it stop my husband from using the same van with the new parts to drive HOURS to pick up arcades, of course not, that would be silly.

We have driven through rain storms, hail storms, snow storms so bad we had to get off the highway and drive on the outer road b/c the snow drift wasn't as bad on the outer road.  We drove in an ice storm so bad (8 hours round trip) that I had to pull over numerous times to BEAT the ice off the windshield wipers just so they would keep working..........

Oh for the love of the arcade!!!!
