This morning we did day 1 of our little "Where's Tobey now?" project with his preschool class. I called the school, got transferred to our classroom (after some explanation of what we were doing), and we got to tell the class where we were. It was fun and it seemed like the kids were excited to move Tobey's "head" on the map. They all yelled, "Hi, Tobey!" and I can't wait to hear them again tomorrow. Of course, tomorrow, the head will stay exactly where it is as we're staying the night in SD and continuing on tomorrow.Our much awaited trip to Legoland was today! We had a lot of fun, partly due to the fact that the park wasn't crowded. The most we waited was 20-30 min. for the Sky Cruiser (that's for you LL regulars out there). And had we been smart, we could have probably waited until later in the day to do it and had no line since we saw it pass by overhead once or twice with empty cars. That's okay -- if that's the longest wait we had to do at a real amusement park, we're happy with that.
Our original plan was to pack up tomorrow morning, drive up to Anaheim (still not closer to Boston) and do half a day at Disneyland. But a day at Legoland in 80 degree weather kind of wiped us out. So we're ditching that plan too, taking it easy today, still driving up, but just enjoying the pool/hotel, maybe doing Downtown Disney or take a look at the Grand Californian (the fancy hotel at DL) but mostly just resting up for a full (and hopefully happy) day at Disneyland on Wednesday.

Legoland was kind of a mixed bag. The Volvo Jr driving school was pretty cool. Tobey got to drive a self-propelled mini-car around an oval track. Unfortunately, Eli was too young, so he had to sit out. Some of the other rides were just "eh" - e.g. Sky Cruiser. The Lego factory showed some machines actually molding Legos - that was interesting. But then at the lunch cafe, the fairly loud background music was stuck playing a 15-sec clip of some Jimmy Buffet song sung by kids. "when the doggies(?) retire. thinking about women and glasses of beer" -- that's all I remember from the song.
