Fun time Bowling

This week, we went to play bowling! I like to play bowling but my husband and I haven't played it since about 15 years ago when we were still living in Saint Louis, Missouri. I don't know why, but suddenly I felt really wanting to play bowling recently. So last Tuesday when my husband was day off, we went to play bowling around here. There were several bowling centers in Tucson and we chose highest rating place, called " Lucky strike bowl ".   I don't have much bowling experience,  but I remember that I really enjoyed playing it with my family and relatives when I was a child. There was a famous and popular professional woman bowler in Japan called Ritsuko Nakayama at that time, and many people were influenced by her , so bowling was popular with public in that generation.   and I also played with my several friends when I was a teenager.  It was quite fun as well.     and then had a long blank from it until 2002.  My ave...

Playing Mini golf

We went to a mini golf center recently !   It was my first time to play mini golf. I had never been interested in golf in my life, I don't know why. But lately, we were discussing about horseshoe game, since we saw people were playing with it and I was wondering about it. and that discussion about it turned to mini golf. My husband had played it about 20 years ago and he said it was fun.   I only heard about normal golf, so I was curious about Mini golf.   In the Mini golf center, there are also some other attractions such as go-carts, Lazer Tag, Bumper boat, Batting cages, Arcade( game center).

Warm and clear but not so hot and not too dry or humid.   In the Mini golf course, there are two courses and there are popu...

Tucson Old Town - Old Western Village

  We went to one of the Tourist places in Tucson called " Tucson Old Town (Western Village )    last month.   This place was used in many movies and TV drama such as Clint Eastwood's Western cowboy movies ,  and also Little house on the prairie. I was curious to see it since I knew about it because Little house on the prairie is one of my favorite dramas. Also I love to see places that are like time slips. It was so much fun ! There was a Western cowboy show and we watched it. We were lucky to wear hats there because it was so sunny while watching the show. I remember this kind of building was in the little house on the prairie. Every 30 minutes, there were different types of shows such as dance show, etc.. besides cowboy show. But we preferred to walk around the place seeing many buildings so we only watched Cowboy show until the end.  ...
