An Awesome Day at Legoland in San Diego...

Hi All,

Today, the boys and I went down to southern California to Carlsbad, near San Diego. This is the home of Legoland California. We had a great day on the rides, looking at the Lego figurines, the Lego cities called 'Minitown' and touring the Lego Factory. It was really cool and very educational to see how Lego is made and the type of equipment they use to make each and every brick and component.

Here are some photos:

Overall, we had a great day at Legoland. We went with Coach America and the trip down took around 1.5 hrs. We were at Legoland from around 10am to 6.30pm. It was a long day but it was well worth it. Next time I would drive rather than take the coach down, it is a very easy trip as Anaheim is on the Interstate 5 and Legoland is 1.5hrs down the Interstate 5 and about 1km off the freeway in Carlsbad.

Tarin and Kalinda stayed at the hotel today and relaxed by the pool and went out for a walk to the local cafe.

Thanks for looking at our pics.
