A trip to Lego Kids Fest in the Bay Area
I am a big Lego fan. My son is an even bigger Lego fan. Since 1.5, he has been hooked onto them. He has continued to craft his unique visions of flying objects (he calls them planes but Einstein would argue otherwise) with a bevy of colors and everything from 5 to 50 blocks. So when I told him that we were headed to a Lego Kids Festival he was thrilled to bits.As I discovered just 10 days before the Festival, Lego does this touring festival thing across the country. This year, the Bay area was one of its stops. The festival happened over the Labor Day weekend. I was thankfully fast enough to pick up tickets because they sold out a few days in advance of the event. The show was held in the San Jose Convention Center in downtown San Jose.My son and I had a Sunday 3pm slot and we arrived just on time for the gates to open. The organizers had two sessions every day and each session lasted for a 4:30 hour window. We stood on the line to enter the place and soon we were ushered in. What we saw was a couple of huge convention areas filled with all things Lego. To my son (and to me) it was paradise. There is much that I can write about what we saw but it would mean nothing. Instead, I will present a bunch of photos in a gallery here. That should tell you everything about it really.[gallery columns="4" ids="1086,1081,1082,1083,1084,1087,1088,1089,1079,1078,1077,1076,1075,1074,1073,1072,1071,1070,1090,1091,1092,1093"]We flitted and jumped between all the sections the show had to offer. We could not get enough of anything and everything. Be it Lego Ninjago
