Pilgrimage of Wonder

This past July, Sam, Jack and their good friend Jake (who was visiting from the States) made their first trip to LegoLand. It is just outside London, in Windsor. I have posted some pics of the unforgettable displays there of the London Skyline. The miniland attractions are massive in scope. As you look at these, you completely forget that you are looking at LEGO bricks and there is such an attention to detail. There are also other landmarks from around the world...the USA was represented with a display of NASA and Mt. Rushmore. It was quite amazing...I really enjoyed this part of the visit. After this trip...both my boys decided that they wanted to be "ARCHITECTS" (they pronounce it ARKT TIK TECTS)....for Legoland when thet grow up. :)

Wembley Stadium

This project was a joint effort by the boys with their dad. They cannot wait to go and see a football (for the yanks...soccer) match at this stadium! We can see this out our window and it is pretty amazing piece of architecture. To see more pics of it go to www.wembleystadium.com.
