After an early start and a huge drive we made it to Legoland just after midday and had about 5 hours of fun there before hitting Anaheim ... To find the best hotel of our entire trip so far! So we hit Disney's California Adventure for dinner, a cool 4D toy story ride, and then caught the incredible light/water/fire show that was truly beautiful...even ran into Shannon and Paul and the kids in Legoland!!!
