Legoland needs to take notes from Disneyland

So after Disneyland, we ventured down to Carlsbad to visit Legoland.  Sam loves Legos about as much as he loves Lightning McQueen, so he was pumped about it.  Legoland was the complete opposite of Disney...dirty, smelled bad, run down...it was in desperate need of a makeover.  It was pretty disappointing for Nick and me.  Even the employees were kind of disgruntled.  It's like they were the rejects who couldn't get a job at Disneyland.  Had we gone to Legoland first, we might have forgotten how bad it sucked after being at Disnelyand for 2 days. 

Sam thought it was the coolest thing ever.  Caroline was unamused.  Perhaps the most impressive part of Legoland was the Miniland section.  They made entire cities out of legos - to scale!  NYC, DC and even New Orleans.  Don't get me wrong - building national landmarks, the Millennium Falcon and all the characters from Star Wars out of legos is pretty impressive.  While the land of Legos failed to impress 3/4 of the family - Sam had a blast and that's all that really counts, right?

This was made to scale all out of Legos!

Chalmette, LA even made it in the New Orleans Miniland set. 

(Nick grew up really close to here - so we were surprised to see it)

And finally, I save the best picture for last.  In Lego New Orleans they had this...

Thats right, its a hooker.  Made out of legos.  Classic.
