Legoland

Darth Vader and R2-D2 made out of Legos

Our trip to Legoland wasn't good but GREAT according to Chuckles. Chuckles was so excited as he only found out the day before our trip that we were going to Legoland. Legoland is amazing. The things that they build out of bricks. My favorite part was Miniland with the miniture towns and mini Vegas. You can't believe the detail. Miniland is incredible and I really enjoyed all the Halloween elements - mini treat or treaters, pumpkins, and witches coven.

There is a lot to see and a lot of people. This is the perfect place for the under 12 set.

We were able to trick or treat Legoland In their Brick or Treat which was fun. They had little houses set up and handed out various treat including a commemorative block. We did not make it to the night time portion as we were all worn out. We brought our costumes but decided just to trick or treat without them. Chuckles favorite thing was everything. #1 Son enjoyed buying legos and the temple of doom ride - Lost Kingdom Adventure Ride where you shot targets.

There are so many alternative titles I wanted to use - such as:

Spooning Tigers, Crouching Dragons

Anteater Love aka PG rated exhibit

OK, my Hubby and I are a little juvenile. We can't help ourselves. I love the San Diego Zoo for so many reasons. It is huge. They have pandas, koala's, and a albino python. I love giraffes. They have an awesome giraffe enclosure. The Zoo is huge. We walked our tootsies off here. As an added bonus, October is kids free month. I love that. When we lived in San Diego we had a zoo membership and it was worth every penny. There have been a lot of changes in the last 6 years since we had visited. They have Elephant Odyssey and a playground over by the Children's Zoo. There is just more of all the good stuff - animals and things to get kids involved. We did not see everything but we saw a good portion.

Our Whirlwind Adventure

On Sunday, we made it back from our adventures in San Diego. We left on Thursday afternoon for San Diego. We went to the World Famous San Diego Zoo on Friday and on Saturday we went to Legoland. There was a lot of walking. I venture to say we are still tired. The above picture was taken after leaving Legoland in Carlsbad. I was thinking - "Beam me Up Scotty". I am going to do separate posts on the zoo and Legoland. We had a fabulous time. I imagine the kids are going to be talking about this for a long time.
