I’m beginning to think that West Seattle needs to get added more frequently to our “where should we go today” list. We used to go there quite often when the boys were little but we haven’t been much lately. And then we accidentally ended up there a little while ago and saw a baby seal! Our most recent visit was the absolute best. We went bowling with a little friend who already has his own bowling ball, shoes and perfect bowling form.
I was in awe.
And I love love love bowling shoes. This bowling alley was pretty fabulous too. We definitely need more bowling alleys in Seattle. Do you have place where you love to bowl?
And then our little friend’s mom said something to me that made the day perfect.
“We go to a place near here that has pretty yummy milkshakes.”
Hello Luna Park Cafe! Why have I never been here? Not only do they have divine milkshakes, but they have a Batmobile, some kitschy machines with crack-open-the-ball toys and a mildly creepy dancing clown. Instant love.
I had the Banana Split milkshake this time. I may be a bowler forever now.
And so might these guys.
(PS. Thanks M and L for such a fun adventure! This one is definitely going to be a repeat.)
(PPS there is often a free bowling for kids program in Seattle in the summer. Keep a lookout or signup to get notified when this program begins.)

Hooray! Linc has been begging to do it again since 😉 Perfect “Winter in Seattle” day trip, eh?
I think we could totally do this one again. There are so many milkshakes to try on that list;)
