Lego land 2009 It was July 9th 2009 my 8th birthday, and at the time my life was consumed by my obsession with Lego sets, even though I was known to rage when I couldn’t figure out a difficult part. We were visiting family in California and it just so happened that it was my birthday. And my parents surprised me with a day in Lego land. As we drive up to Lego Land, about every 500 feet there is a letter made out of Legos, W-E-L-C-O-M-E, it spells.

It was a sun bag filled with snacks, water, sunscreen, etc. But we left our swim suits in the car because we were going to grab them and change in a bathroom inside the park. As we walked in the park there was a tall cement wall, as tall as trumps, blocking the inside visitors from the outside world. The wall was tall but not tall enough so you could catch glimpses of the park inside. On our way In we passed the giant garbage that was full of old Lego creations that they threw out in the recent remodel.

From the time that I was a toddler, I was always cheerfully asking my mother for “boy toys” because they allowed creativity to flow. Specifically I wanted the huge Star Wars Lego set of the Death Star because it contained millions of tiny and intricate pieces. Although I was never gifted the Death Star, in replacement my mother would buy me colorful sets that contained instructions for building Lego houses, or making a dog park. Over time, I gradually took all of these figurines that I had…
