We took the boys to the arcade in Longbeach. It is quite high tech now. You pay the cashier the amount of money you need for the games and they give you a credit card with that amount on it!!! You swipe the card at every game and it will tell you the balance that is left on your card. Very clever, but I think it may give kids the "credit card" bug a little too soon. All I know is things have changed since I went to the arcade.
