Trip Day 2: Legoland Part One

Mar 27, 2012 09:03

When I left for Florida I was blond. I've been blond since sometime before Dragon*Con, when I let my hairdresser at the time experiment with my color. It started out sort of caramel-reddish, but despite the fact that I've been using the same color ever since, it's gotten progressively more blond as the days get longer. That's just how my hair ( Read more... )

It looks nicer than the one in CA. Greener. It's pretty impressive anyway. Loved the rabbits.

The kids are growing up so. ::sigh:: Someone should tell them to stop.

It helps that they built it on the site of Cypress Gardens. The greenery was already established so it was easy enough to incorporate it, I reckon.

Those are awesome! The elephant! And the bunnies in the garden! And the snoozing guy with his black socks and sandals!! And dancing Lego men!

Ryan will be thrilled to see them when he gets home from school. Of course, it will just make him want to go there! I can live with that, even though Florida means staying with my inlaws. But if I can get some quality time on the white sand of Siesta Key beach, I think I'll be okay.

You realize you are going to have to fork over a picture of the hair, right? It wasn't really all that light in Atlanta, but dyed hair is funny, so I'm not surprised it got blonder over time. Mine is always trying to turn red, which I hate on me. I bet the dark color is lovely and very striking on you.

(talking hair color reminds me that I desperately need to color mine. My very white roots are showing, which makes my hair look even thinner than it already is! ::adds Sally's to list of errands::)

I swear to God we are the same person. I have the hated red highlights too, and it'll go redder as the brown fades, which it always does. I'll have to take a picture of my new color. Surely some pictures of the blond will surface from the trip eventually, though so far no one is sharing except me.

I have never been to the Sarasota area (though I was up for a job there when I took this one instead) but I have heard the beaches are gorgeous. The gulf is always nicer than the ocean side, of course. We've lived on both and I love the gulf, but I grew up on the ocean so I don't mind it at all.

I do love Siesta Key beach. It is so beautiful, I could truly lie there all day on the warm sand and look out on the water...

:shakes self out a daydream::

I have always been at battle with the red. It's not even a pretty red, but a coppery-orange. Not cool.

That pig Mia was on looks a bit like Homely does in my head...

You know, I promise you if I saw you on a daily basis I'd have blurted out eventually... "Caroline? What the hell with the blonde?"

Cause yeah, you're mom has a point Blonde is not you.

It's like when Luis screws up with his beard and shaves it off, no beard is not him... it throws me all off with him. LOL.

I totally noticed your hair, but unfortunately my mind can't hold a thought long enough to express it these days! I like it!

Very awesome to discover all the Lego creatures with you and you family, it didn't feel like a huge picspam at all:) I must have been 7 or 8 when I went to the original Legoland in Danmark in the late seventies, which I mostly remember from photos, but it sure was a lot smaller than this! Thank you so much for sharing the fun, it makes me want to get out the Legos:)
