... designs that integrated the indoors and outdoors. We visited his home and architecture school (Hillside School) which both had beautiful designs and open spaces. His home was a modular style design and has reinforced our hope of one day building a modular style home &#8211; eventually.<br><br>The footy has been happening and the season is nearly over, we are heading to Chicago for the ...

Today we went to the Wisconsin Dells on a Duck ride.<br>These old vehicles were used in World War 2 to land the troops in the Normandy and also in the Vietnam war.<br>As a tourist attraction someone had the idea to take these boats or whatever for tours on and around the Wisconsin River.<br>My mum, step dad, and me enjoied a nice ride through different territories and over the Wisconsin River. Very nice country side.<br><br>Till

... support for activation, they told me to download the software (obviously, could not grab the concept that I had no connectivity!!). While enroute to the Dells, the Tahoe engine light came on, so we spent a day with the car at the local GM dealer. That turned out to be an emissions issue, and was fixed under warranty. <br><br>Still at the Dells.....while packing up, I noticed that our bike rack did not seem particularly stable. It was in fact, in danger of breaking ...

... of course, I was keen - I love holidaying, and the flexibility of this, was perfect. But moving on .... kids were well and truly entertained in the free kids club, and we got a great presentation, and at the end of it, we all got a fantastic time in the two indoor water parks that were open. We did lose Brad at one point, and there was a slight panic situation, but all is well, and the kids got the most amazing slides and I got a soak in the spa.

... that is visited by coach loads of people. No, seriously the art work is very good. The rest of the day was spent driving east. We did not have anything in particular to see in the area and we wanted to get on as much as we could. In fact, unless you are an aficionado of Corn or Sunflowers, the 500+ kms offered little else. The only thing of note was passing the town where Mary Ingles (author of Little House on ...

... TSA wants you to do..It may work here, but when i get to Japan or China they have very different rules. Sometimes I think they change the rules just because I am an American. So I am trying this new travel blog thing.... its kind of cool, this way you can see where I have been. Well Toodles for now, Ill be back in touch soon!

We arrived... got drinks... set up the tents while drinking... pretty happy before 5pm... oh no... no wood for the bonfire... went to gas station.. bought marshmellows, more drinks, snacks, hot dogs... walked out and noticed big pile of firewood... oops... guess we should get some of that too...

... in a hotel, it was wired, the first night alone in the foreign country. I hardly spoke any English.<br>The next day I finally met my hostparents, the people that I have stayed with for 10 months now. Here in the US I went to Princeton High as a senior and enjoyed my year very much. I learned to play football, basketball, and baseball, I even got elected most improved player of 2009. I found ...

... to the shear cliffs that were a haven to many rock climbers who we met along the way. Many were older than us. The rock formations and views here were incredible. We took a boat tour through the Upper Dells where the Wisconsin River winds through sandstone cliffs and rock formations. Over the years, the Wisconsin Dells has become quite the resort town, but we passed up the water parks and mini golf.

... had 6 waterpark areas...3 outdoors and 3 indoors. There was this crazy ride called the hurricane, an indoor wave pool, and many other interesting things I'm never seen before. There were originally only 3 of us, but we were later joined by another 3 who live nearby in Reedsburg. Got some tasty pizza from Moosejaw, and spent the night playing Wii and hanging out. It was a good birthday party. We got a short hour of swimming in this morning and then headed home.
