Quick Orlando Trip: Legoland

We took a quick and fun trip to Orlando in September.  George had to be there for work so the boys and I flew down to meet him for a three day trip.  We stayed one night at the resort where George's conference was held before moving to a crazy nice house our friend Brook set us up with.  Between the Disney parks, the hotel, and "the mansion" as the boys called it, there was too much to do in a long weekend.  We managed to squeeze it all in though by exchanging sleep for fun.  Lazy river at 7:45am?  Don't mind if we do! 

The boys really, really wanted to do Legoland on this trip so I took them there while George wrapped up his conference.  Then, we spent day two at the Magic Kingdom and day three at Animal Kingdom. Legoland is a manageable park and unlike the chaos of Disney, has low crowds.  We had such a nice day checking out Lego town, riding rides, and exchanging Lego figures with the crew.  That was a special treat that thankfully a co-worker shared with me.  Guests can bring Lego people from home and then trade with the crew.  It's neat because we saw some we've never seen before.  Who knew there was a Bart Simpson Lego?  We have one now! 

Sweet traveling buddies.  
George sent a fun vehicle to pick us up from the airport!  
Big muffins to get ready for a big day!
Lazy river first thing. That's how you get a vacation started.  

Here we go!
Vegas baby

Poor Drewby had to ride the good stuff solo - David and I were traumatized on ride #1 so weren't up for much more :)  Luckily, it was very quiet at the park that day and they let us wait for Drew right by the entrance to each ride.   



This sums it up - Drew the thrill seeker, David and me the chicken $hits.  


First night at "the mansion."  What a place!  We needed 24 friends to 
join us at that dining room table.
Who needs Disney?
