Spring Break - Family Style (episode 04)

Today we went to Legoland.

All in all it was pretty neat. It was amusing to see that Lego (Switzerland's most popular consumer brand) was heavily endoring VOlvo (Switzerland's most global company) in so many ways. There were special parking spots for Volvo vehicles that were closer than any handicap-reserved spots that I could see. There were, also, no shortage of miniaturized Volvo cars in the Lego Miniland.


The rides there were pretty decent and thoroughly Lego-themed - of course. I didn't ride on any rides and most played the role of photo and video guy documenting the day as it happened. The one ride that I decided to join in on had the logest line (nearly an hour) and the lamest ride. It was this hinky bicycle thing that 'flew' through the air. Really, you didn't even had to petal (I sure as heck didn't have the energy to try) and it would progress just fine.

The kids had a great time but nerves were frayed when the hours and the miles ticked on.

We didn't get a chance to go to the "Dino Island" portion of the park and decided to go back later this week on our 'free second day' priveleges. We did have to pay for a couple of second-day tickets at $8 each, but I think it will be worth the return trip.

I will not be able to post video as I had hoped to, but there are many pictures that I can post.
(I took 212 10.3MP pictures and over 30 minutes of HDV...)

I capped off the day with some sunset photos at the nearby marina with Winston.
