Day 21. San Diego (LEGOLAND). Thursday 9th January

After a gym session by Andrew and breaky for all we drove back up the highway for 30 minutes to Legoland arriving at 10. Again, being a weekday and out of US school holidays  made it a great time for us to visit. The parking attendant confirmed that it was a quiet day - yippee! The park is mainly aimed at 2 -12 year olds so there is a lot to keep little kids happy. The boys (all 3) have dreamt about visiting Legoland for a long time. Chelsea figured she was the oldest girl in the whole park but there was still plenty to see and do for teenagers and mums & dads. The parks many rides include rollercoasters, bumper boats, a thrilling mechanical arm that turns upside down round and round and some more sedate pedal bikes and boring stuff for little kids. The main attraction is the hundreds of Lego models of animals, people, buildings and whole cities. Some were life sized while others, like miniland, were scale models all built entirely of Lego. The biggest model is the life size Star Wars X-Wing fighter. It is the largest Lego model ever built with over 5 million pieces and weighs 23 tonne. There was also a 4D Lego movie, heaps of shops to buy Lego and  lots of different places to eat.  We left when the gates closed at 5pm and headed to an 'An American Institution'  for dinner - Denny's. It was a fantastic meal and very reasonably price. One of the cheapest without compromising on quality that we have had here.

Another dream come true
