A blustery day leads to a big day of fun

We woke up this morning to the sound of howling wind. It's freezing here today so our original plan to walk around was thwarted by the frosty weather and sprinkles. Instead we hopped in the car and headed out to go bowling. We went to Sea Side Bowl, which is just a hop, skip and a jump from our base. It's cleanliness and bowling shoe vending machine completely floored me, it's possibly the greatest bowling alley ever. Above each lane they have a video screen that had Japanese music videos playing while we bowled. It was Gabriella's first time bowling and she loved it. The first game she got a score of 17 without bumpers, the second game we had them put the bumpers up and she got 59. I was very impressed, especially because the smallest ball they had was 5 Kilos or pounds, we couldn't really tell. As always the vending machines were in full effect, including the cup of noodles machine and the various drink machines. However this bowling alley took it up a notch by having a vending machine for fried foods.  Including but not limited to french fries, onion rings, and some sort of noodle dish. It was very impressive although possibly not as impressive as the beer vending machine. Unfortunately we were planning to go to lunch after so I did not try the fried food vending machine, but mark my words I will. Greg did have a beer out of the vending machine, how could he pass it up. 

After our two rounds of bowling we went to lunch at a much raved about sushi go round. If you are unfamiliar with the term it is a sushi restaurant where a conveyer belt takes various plates of sushi through the restaurant and the patrons simply pick up the plate they want, at the end of your meal the server comes over and counts the plates you have on the table and tallies your bill. The plates color and design designate the price of the item. We had some delicious crab leg sashimi, tempura roll, spicy tuna roll, and Gabi even tried some sweet shrimp sashimi. The best part, we got all that plus soup and edamame for only $17. Truly a delicious way to end our outing. We will definitely be going back to both the bowling alley and the sushi go round.
