Day 13 - Last full day in the USA

Early start to the Sunday. The Premier League started this weekend and Sunday saw both Manchester teams in action so we headed north to St Louis again to the Amsterdam tavern. This bar shows all of the Premier League games live in TV and simultaneously if the games are on at the same time. 

Man U v Brighton and Leicester v Brentford both started 8:30 am US time and the bar was packed full of Man U supporters. I was one of only a couple of people in a Brighton top. My son Isaac was in his Man City top prepared for the second match Man city v West Ham.

It was a bad morning for the reds with them losing 2-1 but I didn't fell ostracized in any way. 

As that game finished the bar started to fill with hammers supporters so we took a table inside and enjoyed the City win.

Lunch was then a stop at one of the American chain restaurants Crackle barrel. Food here was a typical American menu god sizes portions and a gift shop too.  I wonder if I ever open a bar or restaurant then a gift shop would have to be part of it!

The tables also had a cool little puzzle on them to keep the kids busy. I was really surprised how quickly they solved it.

After lunch back to the house for a quick dip in the pool and to watch my new favourite sporting team - the Cardinals beat the New York Yankees in a 3 game sweep. 

Before the end of the day we had a chance to play wiffle ball, which is essentially a back yard version of baseball with a short flight ball and a lighter bat.

A film before bed with a last slice of Oreo ice-cream cake rounded off the day nicely.
