LEGOLAND!!!

When I win the Superbowl in a few years, I won't state the classic "I'm going to Disneyworld" speil, instead "I'm going to Legoland." OK, that may be a bit of an overstatement, but not by much. Legoland is AWESOME! It doesn't have a ton of rides and most of them are geared towards kids, but the legos make up for all of that.

Here's a little info to preface my post: "The Lego Group had a very humble beginning in the workshop of Ole Kirk Christiansen, a carpenter from Billund, Denmark. Christiansen began creating wooden toys in 1932; the company began calling itself "Lego" two years later in 1934. The company expanded to producing plastic toys in 1940. In 1949, Lego began producing the now-famous interlocking bricks, calling them "Automatic Binding Bricks". (Wikipedia)

Yesterday, 4 of us from class drove an hour-and-a-half to Billund, Denmark to join the fun. I really wasn't sure what to expect, but the park completely blew me away. The amount of lego-made things is staggering. And we aren't talking those modern big blocks that try and pose at legos, no, I'm talking everything made out of individual, original small legos. There was so much awesome stuff that I took 330 pictures in 6 hours. I don't think we stopped smiling the entire time we were there. You can't help but to be a kid in this park, it's infectious. If you can't enjoy a place like this then you have something wrong with you, EVERYTHING IS LEGOS. Heck, even the trash cans were shaped like legos. They even have lego pits in the lines of the rides for you to play with while you're waiting.

To check it out for yourself, see the link in the title box for the 330 pictures I took. Side note: everything in these pictures is made of legos, including the people, impressive stuff!

I'm off to Berlin first thing tomorrow morning (very first thing, 7am) and so when I return I'll be sure to post on the trip. I'll be without my computer until I get back late Wed. night.
