We went to the Legoland Discovery Center at the Woodridge Shopping Center. It was amazing. The top photos are of a Chicago exhibit. There is this guy from Naperville that wanted to work for Lego so he built the city of Chicago out of Legos to impress the big-wigs. It is absolutely amazing. Every major building and landmark were represented. I was completely impressed, and so were they. Of course, the guy now works for Lego. The other photos were just some of the neat things made from Legos. There were so many cool things there, including an amusement park type ride that takes you through a maze of animated Lego people and creatures including a dragon with light-up eyes and moving parts. Then you go to a big room full of Lego tables so that you can play with Legos for as long as you want. And then you exit through the store and listen to all the children cry for Legos and watch parents pay $20/lb. for bulk Lego pieces. It was great. There is so much to be amazed by that it sort of feels hum drum after a while, which is sad, because if I had made all those things I would want people to oooh and aaaaah for a long time.

I love your recent posts. It looks like there are so many fun things to do around Chicago. I love the big silver ball. That looks awesome.
$20 a pound?!?. Now I'm thinking the Craigslist posting of $3/pound was pretty good.
