Legoland Pt5

A few years ago we went to a children's museum in Manchester, New Hampshire.  They had the most impressive lego structure I had ever seen.  It was a complete model of downtown Manchester done in incredible detail.  My favorite part of Legoland had something similar:  Giant models of famous American cities.  These were immense.  In fact I almost couldn't look at them for very long because of over-stimulation.  There was simply too much to see, the brain has a hard time absorbing it all.  But I'm here to share photos with you readers so here goes: (sometimes if you click on a picture you can zoom in)

Daytona.  They had the entire speedway too, I just thought the motor home models were more interesting.  I'll tell you the city at the bottom of the photos so you can guess as you're looking and validate your perception

San Fransisco, of course

Los Angles, that's the Chinese Theater and The Hollywood Bowl

New Orleans

Vegas baby, Vegas

This one is hard.... see if you can guess

They had the capital done up as a representation on the Obama inaugeration

I was impressed by how updated things were, for instance we saw a model of Chicago and the Sears Tower had already been renamed The John Hancock Building.  They also had a representation of a half-completed Freedom Tower.  Amazing scope all around.  One thing I'm pretty  sure about is the biggest structures aren't made entirely of legos.  It's more likely they are framed and just have legos covering the outside.  That may be the distinction between this and the Manchester attraction, which was advertised as the biggest lego model in the country.  Perhaps that was completely legos.  Still it is quite impressive, and Griffin and Matilda liked it too, as there were buttons to press to turn lights on and off, make cars drive, even activate a New England barnyard to break into a rendition on Old MacDonald.  I, of course, had to restrain myself from taking pictures of everything, or even posting all that I took.  I probably have three times this amount of pictures taken from this same exhibit, but I think you get the idea.
