If you were a child of the 80′s and 90′s, then you might want to take a trip down memory lane with the Neville Public Museum’s latest exhibit.

It’s called the Golden Age of Video Games and runs from May 25 – September 3, 2013.

Think Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Donkey Kong and Frogger in those giant arcade-sized machines.  In fact, there are more than 80 original arcade games on display.

Brown County residents can get in free to the Neville every Wednesday from 6 – 8pm with proof of residency.

How I spent Christmas vacation

Taking the week off from Green Bay Consumer was great.  Not being logged on and tuned in to the computer meant our family was busy doing other things!

We were pretty busy.  Sandwiched among three family Christmas celebrations, making cookies and gingerbread houses, watching classic Christmas movies, and lots of sledding, our family:

Spent a wonderful snowy night at the Green Bay Botanical Garden’s Garden of Lights…

… used our Groupon to see the Harlem Globetrotters at half off…

… and spent a Night at the Museum with Teddy Roosevelt, Attila the Hun & Sacajawea at the Neville Public Museum’s FREE New Year’s Eve celebration, making crafts, seeing the Pranges Christmas display, watching the movie “Night at the Museum,” and taking a wagon ride over to the YMCA and back again.

We also enjoyed free meals at Applebees, Chilis, Subway (with gift cards earned from Swagbucks &  My Points) and enjoyed buck burgers at Champions.

Oh, can’t forget we also had the flu bug, too!

Those are just a few things our family did together.

Hope your holidays were great!

Now it’s back to the grind. ;-)
