Part of the fun of headed back to Texas for the holidays was to visit the places I haven't been able to go to since moving to Maryland - I had no idea I was going to go back sooo far.
Growing up, Silver Wheels Skating Center was the closest and coolest roller rink in all the land. Many, many birthday parties and team events were spent on the hardwood here.
With the wife turning 29, again, we couldn't think of a better time and place to introduce the kids to an authentic roller rink - and by authentic I mean that not once freaking thing has changed since my last visit. Not the paint, not the skates, not the wood, not the disco-style plastic roller/dance floor, not even the chairs or video games.
