#235
San Diego was yet another fun trip we embarked upon this year. One of the unplanned places we visited and ended up having way more fun than imagined and spent more than 2-3 hours was Legoland. It was like a giant amusement park built mainly for kids, with kiddie rides and kiddie films, but we sure had loads of fun, without going on a single ride.
We started out the day with a short Lego film where the storyline and concept was similar to a combination of Power Rangers and Kung Fu Panda’s Furious Five, with one Zen master.
We then walked around the park, admiring stunning renditions of iconic landmarks such as LA's SoFi stadium (where Taylor Swift's Eras Tour began) and mini-replicas of famous cities and their landmarks (New York - Statue of Liberty, Capitol Building - Washington D.C, San Francisco - Golden Gate Bridge, and more). Beautiful, intricate, artful. Simply amazing.
We stopped at a stall to play what looked like an easy 'throw-two-balls-into-a-bucket' game but took us 8 or 9 tries to win the prize - a giant, stuffed Pikachu. This stall was the most crowded and several kids were crying to their moms to let them play 'one more' followed by 'one more' round, but being unable to put the ball into the bucket each time, and walking away dejected. The bucket looked innocent, but the ball would easily bounce out of it like a boomerang, and the trick was to carefully, strategically throw the ball such that it hits the lip of the bucket - that was the only way to make 2 balls successfully go into the bucket and have them stay there.
We clocked in over 15,000 steps that day, leaving with memories as colorful as the bricks themselves!
