Here's a link to the one in California:<br /><br />http://www.legoland.com/California.htm<br /><br />My son loves it there. Absolutely loves it.<br /><br />I had not heard of the movie <i>Summerstock</i> before. It's got Gene Kelly, Judy Garland and Phil Silvers, so it has to be worth a look. Besides the fact it has your recommendation!<br /><br />I'll add <i>Brigadoon</i> and <i>Seven Brides for Seven Brothers</i>. It's been a long time since I've seen either one of those.<br /><br />BTW, I forgot to add some other things on my list that she accomplished: dressing up for Halloween, going out trick-or-treating (she went door to door, but just watched as my son bagged the candy), going to a haunted house and eating caramel apples.<br /><br />Oh, and she ate cheesecake for the first time. One more thing that needs to be added to her list is trying carrot cake.Linda C.

Singing in t...Leslie,<br /><br />Thanks for chiming in here.<br /><br /><i>Singing in the Rain</i>, should absolutely be added to the list.<br /><br />She had already seen the Tim Burton version of <i>Charlie and the Chocolate Factory</i> but has not seen the classic Gene Wilder version. They are different and I want to make sure she sees that one as well since it made such an impression on a generation of children.<br /><br />I live in Northern California, so getting to Disneyland and Legoland isn't that difficult. Just a loooong drive down the length of my state.<br /><br />And Legoland is wonderful. My son loves it. For him, it is his "happiest place on earth." We're planning another trip down there over the holidays, so I should probably blog about that after I return with lots of pictures. It is in my opinion, the best bargain for your theme park dollar.Linda C.

It outstrips all other fast food restaurants. And I commend your inclusion of the very specific Kraft Mac 'n Cheese. I support Scooby-doo shaped, but I am remarkably biased. Scooby is my favorite noodle shape.<br /><br />As for movies, well, I love the inclusion of both Blazing Saddles [favorite Mel Brooks!] and Young Frankenstein, but to support the trifecta, skip Depp for Wilder in Wonka. It's the standby. I might also suggest Singing in the Rain and Clue [Tim Curry, Leslie Anne Warren, Christopher Lloyd and, to top off an amazing cast, Madelein Kahn!]<br /><br />And excuse me as I glow past green into purple jealousy at the thought of Legoland. If you make it, full report please!<br /><br />Good luck with the experience.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11499811997010849716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-896911960035171090.post-62844234730927795072009-11-16T12:34:50.905-08:002009-11-16T12:34:50.905-08:00Cara,
