Many apologies that the blog has pretty much been sacked off this past week - a combination of bad internet access & being busy driving & exploring left it pretty far down on our list of priorities!! We had a cool day in Minnesota last tuesday though - we went to 'Mall of America' in Minneapolis, the biggest mall in the whole country, complete with its own theme park!! Ha, needless to say Mr.Abercrombie & Fitch was paid a visit...
After spending tuesday night in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, we continued our journey East to Green Bay on the wednesday, where we did a tour of the Green Bay Packers stadium; Lambeau Field, which was pretty impressive to be fair. It's one of the oldest stadiums in the country & holds 72,000 people! After that we drove south through Milwaukee & arrived in Chicago, Illinois for three nights!!
We had an awesome time in Chicago, despite not seeing the sun the whole time we were there!! City itself seemed awesome - we had a really good look around & also spent some time in the burbs where our hotel was in a place called Morton Grove - we even found a local Soccer field to have a good kick around on one afternoon!!
We left Chicago on the saturday morning & headed quickly to Joliet, where the prison from 'Prison Break' is located...!! Ha, needless to say we both really wanted to see it!! From there we were back on the roadand quickly got to our 31st state; Indiana, before driving up to Michigan and staying in a place called Dearborn Heights, just outside Detroit!
Our main reason for going to Detroit was to visit a shooting range which had come highly recommended from a Turkish gangster we know, so we headed there early on sunday morning to shoot some guns!! It was a worthwhile experience I guess, definitely would hate to see the damage a bullet would cause to a person anyway!! From there we drove through Ohio, where we got to see a bit of Cleveland as we headed towards Buffalo, New York to stay for the night.
Buffalo is very close to Niagara Falls, so come monday morning we quickly headed there as Build hadn't been before, and I'd only seen it once on a somewhat cloudy day...! After doing that we headed East once more, this time to Saratoga to watch Blink 182!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or not as the case may be as they cancelled at the last minute - the less said about it the better to be honest, as we're still pissed off about it now!! Oh well, least we get a refund...
We're now in New Hampshire for a week or so, needless to say looking forward to enjoying a bit of a relax and chill out after the last 6 weeks!! 11,200 miles driven & 35 states visited....which should be up to 39 by the time we leave, with Maine, Massachussetts, Rhode Island & Connecticut still to tick off before we head home next wednesday...
