TRIVIA TODAY - Monday, January 7, 2013
Greetings Infomaniacs, I hope everyone enjoyed the first weekend of the new year. Over the weekend, I went with my godson to Legoland, which is a giant discovery center dedicated to, you guessed it, Legos! I thought the coolest part was "Miniland," which featured a display of the city of Chicago - all made out of Legos. It was mind blowing to think that somebody made a reproduction of the city using only Lego blocks - so cool!
My godson's favorite part, however, was the Build 'n Play area, where kids could go wild and build to their heart's content. This was a mad scene of endless bowls of blocks, kids running around like crazy, and parents carefully stepping to avoid the sea of Legos on the floor. Definitely glad I didn't have to try and clean up at the end of the day!
Enjoy!
