One of the reasons for planning our recent trip to Florida was the opening of a new Legoland in Winter Haven, Fl. And since our friends who live there hand not been to the new Legoland yet, all plans revolved around Legoland Day. Kids missed school, parents missed work, weather reports were consulted, traffic patterns were taken into consideration, bank accounts were emptied, sunscreen and hats were packed, and off we went to Winter Haven. Yay!

Overall, I would say that we were not as impressed with Legoland Florida as we were in California. But to be fair, Legoland California was our first experience. Overwhelming, exciting and everything new. At Legoland Florida, we found much of the same attractions, with a few variations, but definitely we found everything we love about Legoland!

Our kids got their Lego Store Calendar in the mail this week, and were excited to show me there is a new Legoland opening in Florida in October. My eyes got big as I contemplated this opportunity to combine two of our family's favourite activities, Lego and travel. What could be better!?!

Three years ago, we took our three kids to Florida for a week in February. And our youngest was only 4 months old! What were we thinking??? After the first crazy day at Kennedy Space Center watching the Shuttle launch, we were thinking it was time for a break.

LEGOLAND!!!

This was the day the boys had been waiting for since we started planning this trip. To be honest, I was a little nervous. After Sea World, I was not at all sure our family could handle Legoland. But, we had learned a few lessons, and had relaxed a bit since then. So, off we went, our best attitudes in mind, and our pockets full of cash.
