Yesterday offered the perfect opportunity for a date day, and we decided to spend it at the Garden Street Bowl in Kennebunk, Maine. We’d enjoyed a meal here previously, but this time we were ready to hit the lanes and experience the fun of bowling firsthand.

Bowling isn’t exactly my forte. I think my personal best score hovers somewhere around 120 – and that was definitely with the help of those helpful bumper guards! Despite my lack of professional skill, I still find it incredibly enjoyable to bowl every now and then. It’s a great way to unwind and share some laughs.

I have fond childhood memories of both my grandmother and mother participating in bowling leagues. They had the matching team shirts, gleaming trophies, the whole dedicated bowler experience! Unfortunately, it seems that impressive bowling prowess isn’t necessarily a trait that gets passed down through generations.

Last night, I managed a score of 99. And I’m pleased to say that was achieved without relying on the bumpers! So, considering my usual performance, I felt pretty accomplished. 😉

Essentially, my approach involves walking up to the lane, throwing the ball with a bit of enthusiasm, and aiming somewhere near the center pins. Simplicity is key, right?

On the other hand, the HH (Handsome Husband) has a much more elaborate method. He cradles the ball close to his chest and then rolls it with a rather peculiar swing. He claims it’s the professional technique. He also enjoys offering me bowling tips – lots and lots of them!

When was your last bowling adventure? And more importantly, do you recall your score? I’m willing to bet it was better than my 99! Ha. 😉
