Hey All

Will try and pick up where I left off...

We went to the Chicago White Sox vs Arizona Diamondbacks baseball gameat the US

Mt Rushmore National Monument
Cellular Field which was exciting, as that is the first time I have ever been to a live baseball game.

Following day we went to the Miller Factory to check out some more beer, but like I say, seen one brewery you've seen them all!!

Went to Madison from there where we didn't do much except get some dinner at the 'Outback Steakhouse' which is a fairly popular chain over here, which is an absolute crack up as it is an Australian Themed resturant that clearly wasn't written by Aussies... the served meals with combinations that no self respecting ...
