Bowled over

They might not get your “Big Lebowski” references, but the kids will likely be on board for a trip to Pacifica’s Sea Bowl, located right along the coast The food far surpasses the standard fare found at most bowling centers You’ll have to go elsewhere for stale chips and congealed cheese these nachos are legit To make your outing even more memorable, head to Sea Bowl for Astro Bowl night, on Fridays, because bowling is much better with lasers and glow-inthe-dark bowling balls
