Legoland California is home to more than 60 rides, shows and attractions that cater to children ages 2-12. If your children love Legos, it is a must-see for them.
Lego creations begin early in the parking lot.

Last parting creations--
Whew! We had such a full, fun day. We were all exhausted, however McKay came home, felt inspired and made his own creation from Legos!
Legos (and Legoland) are truly wonderful toys where children learn to create, imagine and have fun.
Tomorrow we fly home in the evening, but we are going to visit San Diego's Maritime Museum on the wharf! The week has flown by way too fast.

We haven't gone to Legoland yet, here in Florida. This really makes me want to take the grandkids there. I cannot believe how creative those people in that park are--but then McKay made something pretty creative, too! Those kids of Ashley's are such good sports to have their pictures taken and such good little posers! Great time with them!
That is so neat that your grand kids enjoyed Legoland and it looks like you covered a lot of ground during your day there. Actually, I don't remember seeing some of the things you showed. And of course, they all have to buy a new Lego package when the day is over. I'm sure Ashley and Adam will remember this trip with their kids, you and Doug for a long time to come.
