Saturday, we decided to blow some money and go have some fun. We'd been looking at going to a place up in Howell Michigan called Great Escape since late last summer when we saw a coupon in the Entertainment book.
Great Escape promised indoor electric go-carts that average 28 mph, bumper-car basketball, mini-golf, and a large arcade. It was about an hour and 15 minute drive and we arrived at about 5pm. It was a lot of fun!
The go-carts were really cool. They were able to control the speed of individual carts using a remote control. So, if you were driving recklessly, they'd slow you down. If you were doing well and seemed to be bored,
they would bump your speed up by a notch. They tried to keep it competitive and still keep us from bumping into each other... mostly. Each race cost $6.00 per person. We raced three times. We got 2 free tickets, though.
One of the free tickets was handed to us by someone who was leaving and had no use for it as they didn't live in the area. The other free ticket was from the Entertainment Book.
We played one round of golf. It was a fun little course with a giraffe, a zebra, a gorilla, an alligator, an elephant, and various little tiki dolls decorating the course and providing obstacles on the holes. The finish order was:
- Me
- Sig
- Queen Powerfoot
- Bubbles
- Elmo
Elmo had two really bad holes. There was only 6 points separating my score and his.
We also spent about $30 on video games. It was a great time and we'll likely go back.
