LegoLand

Someone in Kent's clinic gave him last-minute tickets to LegoLand Windsor for Saturday, November 7. Since we were still recovering from the flood, and didn't really want to be in the house anyway, we jumped at it. It was a gorgeous day--perfect for going to the park. Which is apparently what half of Britain thought as well. The park was crazy! So croweded. We got there shortly after opening and got to go on a couple rides without waiting too long, but soon the lines were over an hour for anything. We had a great day walking around mini-land and doing a few activities. Then we stayed for the fireworks. They were having an Indiana Jones spectactular. And they really were...spectactular. It was probably the best fireworks display we had ever seen. It went on and on. After the fireworks ended, we went and did one more roller coaster while everyone cleared out of the parking lot. Or so we thought. There apparently was an accident on the single road that leads out of the single exit from the park, so we sat. And sat. And sat. For two and a half hours in the car before we moved an inch. Luckily, they opened the park back up for food and restrooms. The whole experience was very different from an amusement park in the US. We really do have efficiency down to a science. And one exit? That would never fly back home. We are still adjusting to things like that.
