LEGO Americana Roadshow

Lego is  a big deal in our house.

Now you can even see Lego AS a model house. Actually, not just any house, but the White House.

And the Supreme Court. And the Lincoln Memorial…

The Lego Americana Roadshow is wrapping up its first stop this summer at Stonebriar Mall in Frisco this weekend.  If you haven’t been yet, you really should go check it out. There are 10 iconic American landmarks (plus additional “brickscapes”) set up in mini-figure scale, and sprinkled throughout the mall. With each display, there’s are fun facts about the real landmark and the model, such as “What is unique about the spelling of “Pennsylvania” on the Liberty Bell?”, and “How many bricks tall is the LEGO Washington monument?” Some of the displays took more than 250 hours to build!

There are also a number of chances to win prizes, and even a fully-staffed hands-on play area.

Guess how many LEGOs in this new car?

On the Saturday we went, they had a FREE mini-build of the Statue of Liberty!

And of course they had a big model of Lady Liberty too.

The Cupcake and I had a great time checking off the model map and taking photos of each display.

Bonus points that the Cupcake told me why Abraham Lincoln is her favorite president and how he freed the slaves.
