downstairs for dinner, get a cup of coffee<br />
(I'm obsessed) one level down at Mr. Brown<br />

through the balloons. Fun for all! Potential<br />

I'll set the scene. It's 3 pm. Your sweet child just came home<br />

Well my friend, I have found Yu Island to be a saving grace on<br />
more than one occasion. Yes, it costs NT$200, but can one put<br />
a price on sanity? Located on the sixth floor, that two-hundred<br />
dollars pays for UNLIMITED hours (unless it's a holiday, when<br />

Wyatt attended a birthday party a<br />
couple of months ago and was invited<br />
to Leos. I have since brought him<br />
there again and though pricey, it's<br />
really pretty awesome. It's very close<br />
to Taipei 101 and about an hour by<br />
bus from Tianmu. If you have a car<br />
you're in luck - they have parking very<br />
close, although it can be very easy to<br />
miss if you're not looking for it. Leos<br />
is an indoor play area straight from<br />
your kid's dream, or in our case, my<br />
husband's as well. Oh shoot, mine too.<br />
There are slides, enclosed trampolines,<br />
and soft nerf balls sailing at random.<br />
For Wyatt and I to get in it was a<br />
whopping NT$800, but that included<br />
a NT$200 food credit voucher as well.<br />
Yes, they have food there! Score!! If<br />
parents don't want to play, no problem,<br />
with their setup you can watch your kid<br />
while simultaneously reading or eating.<br />
The sign that Leos is worth the money?<br />
Wyatt and I BOTH fell asleep on the<br />
bus as we headed back home, but that's<br />
