More Legos... Underwater!

Carlsbad, CA

Since we were already at Lego Land, we visited the aquarium next door. Who doesn't like aquariums, right? =)

You must be wondering where are the legos? Well, one of the photo has some legos in there... I guess I just didn't take enough photos of tanks with legos. Hee-hee! It's a small aquarium but I think, nice enough if you want a break from all the legos and the rides at the main park.

Take me out to the ball game

... take me out with the crowd ... Which crowd you say? The one here at Petco Park! This is my first baseball game! I'm sad to say I don't remember if the Padres won that day! Hee-hee!

What crowd right? There's a lot of empty bleachers on the photo! Hahaha! Although, most of the empty bleachers are in the nosebleed section. It was a pretty good experience to see a baseball game in person. I just couldn't imagine watching a game going over 9 innings! I think I saw one game on TV that went to the 17th inning! A lot of the kiddos were sleeping on the bleachers/chair towards the end! Hahaha!

I finally got to see in person the Padres mascot! Hahaha! Maybe next time I'll get to watch a football game live... Except that football tix are more expensive than baseball tix! Plus I don't know if I can follow the ball in a live football game... Hee-hee! Oh well, we'll see! =D

Legos galore!

Where else can you find tons of Lego, Lego Land of course! Just look at some of the scenes they have recreated in Legos... Can you guess which town is recreated in the bottom photos? San Francisco! I thought it was a pretty good depiction. Can you imagine how many Legos they used to build these scenes? In the thousands, I would think!

Here's another area portrayed. Yes, that's correct, it's Hollywood, Lego style! You can see the Chinese Mann Theater and Griffith Observatory!

P1010242
Here's a Mission, I just forgot which Mission is this in California... (I wouldn't know based on the layout, but then again, I've only seen 3 Missions so far... Hee-hee!)

For a little perspective on the size of the scenes recreated, here's a photo with some real people... Amazing, right?

Pretty impressive, right? They did the Strip in Las Vegas!

I think this elephant is life sized! Look at how big it is!

P1010275
I finally saw Taj Mahal! In Legos, of course! Hee-hee!

P1010277
Have you seen Mt Rushmore? I have, in Legos of course! Ha!

P1010283
There's Washington, DC! There was a ton more places depicted there and other things but they are just all too many to mention! Let's just say I had a blast taking photos there! =) There were also rides and other things to do at Lego Land, but I guess, for an old coot like me, It was fun enough just looking at the Legos! Besides, the rides are mostly for the kiddies! Hahaha! If you have kids on the younger side, they'll enjoy Lego Land a lot!
