California here we come!

We travelled across the desert this week to southern California for a visit to Legoland with Gramma Ross. That's her in the left lane, Lesa in the middle and Shaw on the right. GO!
Gramma off to a late start...

Lesa wins with Shaw in a respectable second place and Gramma had a good excuse for third... she had to hold on to her sun hat.

Shaw and Lesa rode this on a level 1- slow and no upside down rotation.

Lesa and I rode it on level 4- fast and upside down shaking and jerking your brains out. That's my feet flailing about.

Shaw visiting the Star Wars miniland- this is Hoth, the ice planet from "The Empire Strikes Back"

Driving a boat around the lagoon.

Lunchtime.

We rode on this coaster with our hands in the air, including Shaws hands. This is actually after we rode- trying to get a shot of the next group behind us.

Shaw piloting the jet boat. There are underwater cannons that are controlled by the spectators and Gramma learned how to time it just right to blast Lesa and Shaw.

After a long day, a ride in the tour boat around the lagoon with all of the Lego creations of world architectural landmarks was just the ticket.

Couldn't have asked for better weather. It was sunny and 75ish. Great company. I was impressed that Gramma Ross maintained about 85-90MPH to Shaw's 100MPH for the day. I would have thought that she would find a bench under a tree and rest a fair amount of the day. My time on the brain shaker gave me a head ache that didn't go away for the rest of the day. I was glad when she finally had had enough after 6PM... I love you guys! Thanks for a great day.
