| Bitche and Super Dubber Kinderland |
Saturday morning I was told to be ready in 30 minutes and given no other details aside from dress warm. We ended up in Bitche, France, which is about 30 minutes from our house. Yes that is the name of the town and yes it's pronounced like you think it is. I wonder if the residents are referred to as bitches? Anyway, there is a large old fort/citadel there that is supposed to be pretty cool. We got there and were able to walk around the outside but it was all closed up so we couldn't go inside. I'm guessing it was closed for the winter maybe. There is a nice view from up on top of the hill where it sits. We'll have to go back and check it out in the spring. The town of Bitche is supposed to have some nice shopping and pastry shops too. We didn't spend too long there because Colin was seriously pissed off about not being able to play in the snow at the fort and melted down when he was put back in his car seat. So being the sensible and responsible parents that we are, we did what any good parents would do and rewarded his meltdown by heading to the indoor playground close to our house after we left Bitche. We figured he needed to run off some energy.
He had a blast, we had lunch and coffee and killed about two hours before heading home. I'm amazed we don't have more of these indoor playground places back in the States. Maybe there are and I just never noticed since I didn't have a kid back then. I know about Chuck E Cheese but this is WAY different. It is a huge warehouse with foam and gym mats everywhere, trampolines, bounce house type things, and crazy playground stuff with toys. There are good views of what it looks like inside here Click the link, then click "Video Super Dubber" in the green box on the left and then press play to watch the video. You can see how fun it is in there. I'm guessing there aren't many in America because it would be such a liability the way people sue if you look at them wrong. It's a lot of fun though, Colin loves it.
