BBQ, Bowling, & Beans

Day 4, Summer in Asia ~ Columbia, Missouri

Cali scuba diving in the pool

Cali and Sandy started the day with yoga while I picked up Kier at the Kansas City airport. Before driving back to Columbia, we stopped for lunch at the Smokebox BBQ Cafe, since KC is famous for their BBQ. Kansas City BBQMeanwhile Cali and Sandy had gone from yoga to scuba diving in a friend’s pool. Now with all three girls present, we went to do something we always do when we visit Grandpa and Sandy, we go bowling. Here’s a photo from a few years ago.

Before laser bowling, we had Mexican food next door. Our waiter was from Mexico and spoke Spanish with the girls. The waiter was extremely attentive. We had lots of beans, bean soup, refried beans.

Guess that high school bowling in PE was good for something.

This does not count as cultural appropriation since the Mexican owner put this on my dad’s head–more of a cultural gift.
