We took the kids bowling this morning thanks to the coupon I found for 2 hours of bowling (including shoe rental) and a free pitcher of pop for $19.99. We’ve been wanting to go bowling for awhile but it can quickly become very expensive, so the coupon was a nice incentive to finally go.<\/p>\n

\"Brunswick<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

We went to our neighborhood Brunswick<\/a> as soon as they opened and they were already pretty busy (although you can’t tell from the picture above because by the time I took it the leagues were gone). We got the last lane and there were a bunch of empty ones between us and the leagues which was perfect since I’m not the best bowler and didn’t want to look like an ass in front of anyone but my family. The kids actually beat me the first game, although they had the benefit of bumpers. It’s pretty cool how you can choose that per player. The old bowling alley in the town where I grew up had these big foam bumpers they laid down in the gutters so everyone had to use them.<\/p>\n

\"Bowling<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

I only bowled two games because I seemed to be getting worse instead of better and my hand was hurting from trying to keep my fingers from slipping out of the ball. I even dropped it once which was embarrassing. I still had fun, though. I haven’t bowled in years and it’s nice doing something different.<\/p>\n

We’ve never been to this place before and in addition to bowling they have pool tables, a huge arcade, bumper cars and some other ride, and laser tag. The laser tag prices are insane, though. It’s $6.99 per person for 15 minutes! I’d be lying if I didn’t say I want to do it, however. Maybe one of these days.<\/p>\n

\"They're<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

After we played some games we went to a place called Augustinos<\/a> for lunch. We drive past both locations all the time but have never been inside. Their menu is diverse, so everyone found something good to eat. I had the best sandwich ever – oven roasted turkey on a buttery croissant. The sandwich was so huge, I only ate half of it. Everyone enjoyed their food so I’m sure we’ll be back again sometime soon. <\/p>\n

In all, a nice morning and afternoon. We got a movie from Blockbuster and will be watching it later. It’s called Happily N’Ever After<\/em><\/a>. Never heard of it before, but it looked cute and it has a lot of familiar actors doing the voices, so hopefully it will be as good as Hoodwinked<\/em><\/a> was.<\/p>\n

— Update: Don’t bother. The movie sucked. I started doing laundry, I was so bored.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
