My family started off the new year with dim sum in Milpitas. We then visited the recently opened Santana Row, with its high class shops and expensive studios and lofts. I was mightily impressed but my family was rather put off by the place.

Afterwards, we went to Oakridge Lanes for some bowling. It has been many months since I've been there, so my only goal was to score over 100. We bowled a couple of games and I did relatively well, scoring 120 and 129. It got me thinking that I should bowl more often, since I have a good time everytime I go. Unfortunately, Morgan Hill's bowling alley has been closed for some time, so Gilroy (about 10 miles south) would be the next closest alternative. Maybe I'll check it out anyway, just to satisfy my curiosity.
