Nationals 5, Brewers 3
We went to the House on the Rock, which is north of Dodgeville WI. It's a really neat building built on a rock outcropping. The house is unique and we went through the house and the accompanying buildings which housed a unique collection of dollhouses, models of circuses and the largest indoor merry-go-round.We got to Miller Park late and didn't get into the building until after the second inning, however the ballpark is really nice and unique. It has a retractable roof, which was open tonight. Team Baseball had to be split up. Shawn and Jennifer sat in the upper deck (only had two seats together), and I sat one level down. Miller Park is known for two things, Bernie Brewer sliding down his slid
e when the Brewers hit a homer and the sausage races between the 6th and 7th innings. F
or those keeping count, the hot dog won tonight's race and the Suds Boys did not hit a homer, so no sliding for Bernie.
Tomorrow.... Well, later today. Wrigley Field and the Pirates vs. Cubs.
