Duckpin Bowling

Cousin Chase (aka ACE)  came to town this weekend. He's been here before, so we wanted to do something  NEW with him, in the spirit of New-vember. He opted to eat at Chipotle (new to him, definitely not new to us).

After an exciting meal in Charles Village where Andrew did his best to convince him that he did indeed want to go to college at Johns Hopkins, we headed out to go Duckpin bowling. Duckpin is a different type of bowling, that originated in Baltimore. I don't think you can find it many other places. The balls are about the size of a softball, and the pins are tiny! You get three chances to knock down all the pins, instead of two. We don't actually know much about the scoring, since all the Duckpin lanes are really old-fashioned and you do your own scoring.





This was the ONLY video of the night. Pretty lucky we caught this magic on tape.

Which duckpin lanes did you go to? I do not recognize it and I bet all of the employees there have all of their teeth.

Wow! I have certainly been missing out all of my life. Although, it is Brent who is the big bowler in the family. Perhaps some duckpin bowling might be a challenge for him.
