So we headed out for Universal Studios shortly after 7 am. on Monday. About 8 miles up the road, I just thought to ask Mark what the park hours were going to be on Tuesday for our Legoland trip. Good thing I asked. They are CLOSED on Tuesdays!
Quick U-Turn! Stopped at home to change out of our Universal Studios t-shirts and hats and find something more generic. Made it to Legoland by 10 a.m. when it opened.
We spent six hours there! Our legs were tired, but we were happy. We had never been there before. Mark got a Living Social coupon for far less than half price tickets, so we were quite happy to use them. It was a lot of fun, but we do not see any reason to buy season tickets. It is definitely a park we want to go to again, but we probably will only go once a year.
Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure are now park 8 and 9 of our nine in September, the final two on the last day of September. Been a fun project.
Because Legoland was completely new to us, I took scads of photos, over 300 in fact. Crazy. Anyway here are some of the highlights.

| Miniland is very impressive. Scenes of Florida, SF, NYC, Washington DC, Star Wars, Vegas, and more. |

| Bok Tower in central FL. |

| This land was Cypress Gardens, the main tourist attraction in the 1930s through '60s. We were especially interested in strolling through the original botanical gardens area. Real ladies in antebellum costumes used to be there. Now it's a Lego Lady! |
 |
| This banyan tree was AWESOME, planted from a seed in 1936 by the original owners and developers of Cypress Gardens. |
 |
| Cypress Gardens started water-skiing shows and popularized the sport. |
