What did you like about Legoland?
E: I went on roller coasters, ate & walked.  The roller coasters were fun.  I thought the roller coasters were AWESOME!  I wanted to do them again. 

B:  I did roller coasters & the pretty fun Knights Tournement.  It picked you up & spun you around & it was really fun.  Eric’s face was red. 

How many Lego pieces did you see?

B:  So many I can’t count.  How about more than 10. I think the Lego cities were pretty cool.  I recognized lots of New York, DC &  Sandy Eggs (San Diego).

What prebuilt things did you like?
B: I liked Washington DC.  I thought it was pretty cool.  I liked the Daytona Racetrack it was pretty awesome.

E: I liked the Buffalo in the grass.  B: I loved those.  H:  Those were great!  R: I really liked the gargoyles & San Francisco.   The Smithsonian Castle was really cool & NYC’s Bethesda Fountain.

H:  What I liked about Legoland was it was a lovely park with amazing trees & grasses, incredible bonsai trees for lego scale.  Every place had little jokes (a picnic at a park, a car accident in San Francisco, a toilet & bathtub delivered to a store).  Because there was so much detail in all of the creations I could spend all day looking at them.  I also liked seeing how Legos are born.  A mold for an 8 dot brick is over 100 lbs of stainless steel.  The lego forge has such high precision that when a mold is retired it is cast into the concrete in a new building so that no one can ever use it.

R:  It was an awesome day!  The journey to Legoland was a great family outing: a little bit o’theme park & shilling of stuff, lots of creativity, whimsy, humor & running around fun.  The weather was cloudy & pleasant & the crowds minimal.

What you decided to spend your money on?
E: I spent my money on legos. 
B:  I decided to get a caricature because I thought is was really cool and now it is awesome.  It is me as a Navi dude.  It is so cool it is on my wall & on my buzz. 

What would you want to do again?
H: more time in the lego cities.
B:  Everything!  for much longer.  The technic coaster.
E:  Everything, stop tickling me.  Probably the technic coaster.
