At work I get a "floating spring holiday" that I can take whenever I want, so on a sunny Thursday last week, I played hooky from work and drove with Mr. Cleaver to New Hampshire to play pinball. Because that's what you do when you play hooky. Obviously.

I may have mention it before, but I have a thing for pinbal, and this place?

Pinball heaven.

Over 35 different pinball machines, my favorites of which were the 1979 Superman machine seen above and the 1986 PinBot.

Mr. Cleaver spent most of his tokens relishing in DigDug from his youth.

We also played some good old Skee-Ball,

Tried a few rounds on the machine from King of Kong (which if you like video games in the tiniest bit you need to see, because it is an awesome documentary),

We also tried our hand at some newer games, including this Star Wars number that made me feel like a real Jedi. :)

Don't worry, we didn't stay inside all day, we also enjoyed the beautiful shores of Lake Winnipesaukee:

All in all, it was a good day of playing hooky, and thanks to some coupons we have so many leftover tokens we'll have to take a return trip someday!
