Travel is an important part of life. Whether you are headed to a different city or a different country altogether, there is something magical that happens when you leave behind routine and focus on making memories. In the past, travel was significant to me. I would spend months and months eagerly looking forward to some sort of vacation or special experience. Then the pandemic happened. Suddenly, travel felt unsafe. It felt like something to be avoided at all costs. Honestly, it has been really difficult to shift that mentality. The way I viewed travel previously and the way I view travel now are so drastically different. I often wonder if things will ever return to 'normal' for me. Despite all of this uncertainty and fear... despite the fact that the way I think about travel has shifted...I did do some traveling recently. Some of my family members went to California to visit Legoland and Disneyland. Over the next couple of days, I'll be sharing some vacation highlights.
Day Three. This was our second and last day at Legoland California. We spent the morning repeating rides that we liked (like the Deep Sea Adventure and The Dragon rollercoaster) and heading on some of the rides we hadn't had a chance to ride yet. After that? We went to the Legoland Aquarium, which was on site. The online map led us to believe that it was massive, but it only took an hour or so to walk through. There was a touch pond and some large aquariums with Lego figures inside. It was neat to see, but not as extensive as we anticipated. After that, we purchased some last minute souvenirs, and drove from Carlsbad to Anaheim. We stopped at Sonic on the way, because I have always wanted to try Sonic. (Lots of American TV commercials aired in Canada growing up and I loved the Sonic commercials.) It was delicious and exactly the kind of greasy fast food I had my heart set on. We checked into the hotel in Anaheim and prepared for the next day, when our Disneyland adventure would begin. Oh, and there was a stop off at Target as well. Because Target is the best!
Ready for more vacation highlights? Stay tuned, because the next post here on the creation of beauty is art. will be dedicated to lots and lots of Disneyland content as well as a theme park merchandise haul video from my YouTube channel.
Have you done any traveling lately? Do you have any special events planned in the next little while?
Sounds so fun and interesting!!!

Nice post =) Legoland Germany is 1 hour away from my home :D I was there many years ago and it was pretty cool. Legoland California looks and sounds great too =) Love the Halloween decoration <3 =)

DeleteI think I will visit it again =) Halloween is so much fun <3
DeleteI'm really happy about that too =) I hope November gets also nice :D
I'm so hearing you on the travel issue. I was very wary at first but after a couple of short - and one longer - holiday, it is starting to feel a little bit normal again, even if not yet 100%.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I am glad to hear that you were able to go on this trip, and Legoland does look and sound fantastic! xxx
I'm glad it's starting to feel normal again for you. It's still such an adjustment. Thank you so much <3
DeleteIt's great you have been able to travel again! It's a shame we don't have a Legoland here in Australia as I know my kids would love to visit it one day! :)
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great day :)
