LEGOLAND

As I write this it's 10:30pm in Denmark and we have made our way to Billund, home of Lego everything. This is where Lego is headquartered and no visit is complete in Denmark without a visit to Legoland. Well, that statement is only true if you are a family traveling with boys who are HUGE Lego freaks, especially Cameron.

Cameron (9) has enjoyed parts of this adventure so far but most things are "OK". Copenhagen was a bit boring since all we did was "walk around and look up at old buildings". And that, he later told us made his neck hurt. Then we took the metro, a train and a bus to arrive at our B&B in the Southern coastal town of Horne and spent three days there. It was an adorable town with houses that look like they were taken right out of a children's fairytale. Since it's a small town we walked everywhere. We walked to the beach (3km), walked around our neighborhood (2km), walked to dinner at a castle (2km), walked back from the neighboring town of Faaborg (4km) and then a bit more walking.

Cameron thought that was just ok but what he really wanted to do was to "go home and pet Gandalf and Ally". These are the two pet cats that reside at the B&B. Any given chance Cameron would be outside petting, loving on, taking photos of these two kitties. When asked what this passion to pet kitties was about Cameron responds with very moist eyes that he misses his cat Marmalade and that playing with these cats makes him feel better.

About mid-way through our journey to Legoland Cameron develops a skip in his step, a twinkle in his, eye, a cheesy grin on his face, etc, you get my drift. The child is soooooo excited in anticipation of his arrival to "where it all began" he can hardly stand it. This is the most excited we have seen Cameron in weeks. Amazing what a few hundred plastic bricks that you build into a multitude of things will do to a boy.

"This is awesome." "LOOK Ryan, that's totally cool." "No way! That's made out of Legos." And all these shouts of glee were from the bus window.

We arrived at our Legoland Village Hotel, did some schoolwork and then went to the pool. That was the fastest I have yet to see Cameron complete a math and English lesson. He was ready for real fun.

We spent the afternoon at the pool, and riding a cool waterslide then off to the dinner buffet at the hotel and back to our room for some solid rest to ensure we can be at the main gate when Legoland opens at 10:00am Wednesday morning!! Sweet Lego dreams Cameron.

p.s. I am still trying to figure out how to post photos to our blog. For now you can view a bunch of photos on my facebook page.
