Legoland

Recently we had the opportunity to take a long deserved vacation and shut down customBRICKS for about a week. For this vacation we decided to head to southern California and see the sights in and around the San Diego area. One of these sites was Legoland and it was quite an experience!

We somehow got a super deal on passes and purchased a 5 day pass for the price of 1 day. In total we spent 4 1/2 days at Legoland, and still didn't get to do all of the rides. This theme park is designed for children, but we adults had a great time as well...it was truly a Lego paradise.



We were fortunate enough to randomly have been at Legoland the same week that the Star Wars section in Miniland was unveiled and opened to the public. There were people dresses up as Star Wars characters (they were hired help, not visitors) and there were many life size Lego creations on hand so you could take your picture next to them. Our favorite was R2-D2.
