There are amazing builders out there! &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Every city,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;every step of the way, every conversation and every &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;brick&lt;/span&gt; has left such &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255); font-weight: bold;"&gt;memories&lt;/span&gt; in our &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;hearts&lt;/span&gt;. Here are some of the highlights:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;EAST Team&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Kai&lt;/span&gt;  - Helping a little boy who has never built with LEGO before build an awesome house. He was so proud of it because he didn’t know how to build before that day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Parker &lt;/span&gt;- at our last tour stop, a child's mother came up to me and told me her daughter wanted to show her creation to me. After I saw it I told her "good job, give me a high five!" After she did, she was so excited that I liked her creation that she jumped up and down and then gave me a hug while her mother did the "awwww" emotion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Kelly&lt;/span&gt; - Cute, polite, talkative kids! I loved building with the kids and improving my own building skills at the same time! I remember one boy in Charlotte who was playing at the DUPLO table and wanted to make a huge tower. So I helped him and taught him about interlocking/"cross the line." When he had to go, he told me to save it until he could come back and add some more, He said so proudly in his southern accent, "You and me, we made that!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Jesse&lt;/span&gt; - Hearing stories of how LEGO has changed so much over the years from parents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Candice&lt;/span&gt; - Seeing that the tour activities are so popular among kids that they never wanted to leave the event site.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt; WEST Team&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Ryan&lt;/span&gt; - The creativity of each and every kid that visited The LEGO Experience Tour will continue to inspire me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Kylie &lt;/span&gt;- The smiles, the hugs and the great conversations I've shared with all of you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt; Jason&lt;/span&gt; - Fountain Hills Festival, San Francisco Zoo - how do I pick one memory? They were all magical moments!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Helen -&lt;/span&gt; Halloween was a top moment, dressing up and seeing what everyone else was wearing was great fun not to mention building Halloween scenes out of LEGO bricks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Gavin&lt;/span&gt; - It's been an amazing ride; the Family Challenge Experience was my favorite. I loved seeing the creative ideas get put into a fun competition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;"&gt;We've wrapped up this year's tour but keep your eyes and ears open because we are sure to pop up in your neighborhood again sometime soon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;

bricks. How long have you been playing with LEGO bricks? Seems like an odd question with the popularity of these toys but it's a valid one. In our travels across the country we have come across several brand new users who never had the opportunity to play with LEGO bricks before. How did they enjoy the Experience?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are a few quotes, "I never knew plastic bricks could be so much fun!" "Wow I always thought &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;LEGO&lt;/span&gt; bricks were boring. Boy was I wrong. I have been missing out." "You have a LEGO convert here!" "Where have &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;LEGO&lt;/span&gt; bricks been all my life?" "I can't wait to purchase my first LEGO set! I am stoked!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We love to meet existing &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;LEGO&lt;/span&gt; users but we get really excited when we meet new LEGO users.

You see Robert won a national LEGO contest for building a Star Wars spacecraft within an hour. When he entered his "Anakin's Attack Shuttle" in &lt;span class="object"&gt;&lt;span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT1151"&gt;July&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; he told his mom he knew he would win he just needed to know the date when they would announce the winner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine his mother's surprise when he received his congratulatory letter.  Her response," I wasn't surprised. He is really confident in his a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;bilities." She also mentioned that Robert aspires to be a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;LEGO Master Builder&lt;/span&gt; when he grows up. Robert was quoted as saying in the San Antonio Express, a local paper highlighting his achievement, "I'd rather play with&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt; LEGO&lt;/span&gt; bricks than watch TV."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The beauty of the story? Robert started building with some new builders on site at the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;LEGO Experience Tour&lt;/span&gt;.

Can you hear it? Listen closer. That is the sound of the west coast team marching to the sound of the LEGO beat through the mountains and vineyards of northern California to the sunny pristine beaches of southern California! Through New Mexico and on into Texas – &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;wowee&lt;/span&gt;, we’ve really been traveling far lately!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Minifig marched his charges up the coast to San Francisco for a stop at the&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt; San Francisco Zoo&lt;/span&gt;. Minifig had a great time hanging out with the animals. The kids were really excited to see the&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt; LEGO Experience&lt;/span&gt; as they entered the gates of the zoo. They immediately ran over to the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;Construction Experience&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_axRnV2UPbdw/Stycj9fpDPI/AAAAAAAAAJY/xEYTCSQcyW4/s1600-h/MashUpTX.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_axRnV2UPbdw/Stycj9fpDPI/AAAAAAAAAJY/xEYTCSQcyW4/s320/MashUpTX.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394358595299642610" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;tent to free-style build and add their creations to the cityscape in the middle of the tent. It amazes us still how kids creativity and originality come to life when LEGO bricks are placed before them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the beat goes on. It took us to Riverbank, CA for the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;33rd Riverbank Wine and Cheese Exposition&lt;/span&gt; where we experiencedlive music, great food, local wines and cheese, arts and crafts, and kid rides. The local community embraced the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;LEGO Experience&lt;/span&gt; with open arms and really had a good time getting in touch with their inner child while introducing the brand to a new generation of LEGO users. One such user was &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Josiah&lt;/span&gt; who never played with LEGO bricks prior to the LEGO Experience. Josiah started out in the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;Construction Experience&lt;/span&gt; and slowly built his confidence with every creation he made.

We just finished up a great weekend at the York Fair in Pennsylvania!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Helvetica;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Helvetica;"&gt;Everyone on the team enjoys building with all of you fine folks who co&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Helvetica;"&gt;me out to the fairs, but we have one team member, in particular, who is always having fun building his own creative creations and encouraging others in theirs. We like to consider him our LEGO master of sorts, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;Jesse!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt; Jesse has a love for building tall towers, so he enjoys leading families in a friendly game of "Speed Build" whenever he's in the &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Family Challenge&lt;/span&gt; tent! He can always see the teamwork and competitive spirit come to life in parents and kids alike as they try to build the tallest towers they can in a matter of minutes!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Helvetica;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Helvetica;"&gt;The tall towers aren't just restricted to the Family Challenge, though. Sometimes the LEGO city in the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;Construction Experience&lt;/span&gt; turns into a sky scrapper skyline! While the Construction Experience is normally competition free, one particular builder we met at the York Fair had a personal challenge to build a tower as tall as the building we were next to! &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Pete&lt;/span&gt; was working for quite some time at this project, as he constructed piece by piece the tallest tower we've ever seen! When he finished, his tower stood around eight feet tall! &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Awesome job!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Helvetica;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_axRnV2UPbdw/SrqaqL7ja0I/AAAAAAAAAFw/4kmt5ffMrn8/s1600-h/Pat.jpeg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_axRnV2UPbdw/SrqaqL7ja0I/AAAAAAAAAFw/4kmt5ffMrn8/s400/Pat.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384786354022607682" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Helvetica;"&gt;We had another pleasure of meeting someone who has been following us here on the blog!  &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pat from North Carolina&lt;/span&gt; first heard about the &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;LEGO Experience To&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Helvetica;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;ur&lt;/span&gt; f&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Helvetica;"&gt;rom her grandson's local LEGO club, and came to our blog here to read more about us. She happened to be visiting some friends in the area and came to the York Fair to meet minifigure and see the tour.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Helvetica;"&gt; We loved meeting her and can't wait to build with her and her grandson when we head to Raleigh in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Helvetica;"&gt;October&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Helvetica;"&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Helvetica;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:Helvetica;"&gt;So, off we go to the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Virginia State Fair&lt;/span&gt;!

 &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;After trying everything on a stick from chicken to shrimp to pizza, it was time to wrap up and head to Pueblo, Colorado for the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Colorado State Fair.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Rolling, rolling, rolling"&lt;/span&gt; seems to be the soundtrack to our journey westward. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;We have been truly humbled as we traveled through the majestic mountain ranges of Colorado and the salt plains of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Utah&lt;/span&gt;.

The challenge went as follows: “If you were stranded on a deserted island and you could have one item what would it be?” The families would have two minutes to create it. Well, the creations varied from ipods, to books, to a boat, to a bed. The final family created the word "&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;LOVE&lt;/span&gt;" with their bricks and a collective &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 102, 204); font-style: italic;"&gt;"AWWWW" &lt;/span&gt;went over the crowd. It was a touching moment for all that witnessed it and brought a heartwarming experience to the LEGO staff. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  Also their was &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Brian Dailey&lt;/span&gt; who provided us all with a moment of reflection as he created a memorial acknowledging the events of Sept. 11. There are so many stories to share and hopefully when we meet you on our journey you can share yours.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_axRnV2UPbdw/Sq_BqjamnLI/AAAAAAAAAEY/V9OsqOOW4Ds/s1600-h/Brian.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_axRnV2UPbdw/Sq_BqjamnLI/AAAAAAAAAEY/V9OsqOOW4Ds/s400/Brian.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381733016536521906" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1067825461863844152-3229231936761223776?l=thelegoexperiencetour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thelegoexperiencetour.blogspot.com/feeds/3229231936761223776/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thelegoexperiencetour.blogspot.com/2009/09/what-awesome-experience-we-shared-in.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1067825461863844152/posts/default/3229231936761223776'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1067825461863844152/posts/default/3229231936761223776'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thelegoexperiencetour.blogspot.com/2009/09/what-awesome-experience-we-shared-in.html' title='Team West Treks Through the Mountains'/><author><name>LEGOExperience</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18385522056114268021</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='29' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_axRnV2UPbdw/SoXNAPAvlLI/AAAAAAAAABA/RzzjezIuh8Q/S220/LEGO_TourLogo_MiniFig.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_axRnV2UPbdw/Sq_Bk5UBdoI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/oWricT08dCQ/s72-c/IMG01577-20090912-1959.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067825461863844152.post-1166072006647083980</id><published>2009-09-08T15:45:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-09T13:11:50.370-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Brick-ture this!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_axRnV2UPbdw/SqgLKcpjmxI/AAAAAAAAADY/iLiLWwN2nT4/s1600-h/thumb-3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_axRnV2UPbdw/SqgLKcpjmxI/AAAAAAAAADY/iLiLWwN2nT4/s400/thumb-3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379562029011147538" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Hello friends! Wow, big weekend in Cleveland, OH and now off to Nashville, TN! But in the meantime, here’s some updates on our fun along the way.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;At &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;The LEGO Experience Tour&lt;/span&gt;, we’ve met quite a few families, as it’s a great activity for builders of all ages and skill levels to enjoy. We love hearing your stories about LEGO sets being passed down from parents to kids, then those kids to their kids! We’ve had grandparents tell us that they gave LEGO sets to their kids and now are giving them to their grandkids. One gentleman told us about a LEGO kitchen set that his sister used to play with that his daughters now plays with. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Wow! I guess LEGO can run in the family!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;One girl we met yesterday built quite a nice looking St. Louis Arch. When asked if she builds at home, she responded that she builds spaceships. Her dad chimed in, playfully denying that it’s a family trait. The little builder set the record straight that Dad has been making LEGO spaceships for as long as she’s known him, so now she does too!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;Parker&lt;/span&gt; is one of our LEGO crew members here on Team East, and one of his favorite games in the Family Challenge is a specialized version of &lt;a href="http://club.lego.com/en-gb/buildit/familydetails.aspx?id=40514"&gt; “&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Brick-ture.&lt;/span&gt;”&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_axRnV2UPbdw/SqgLxwcJPfI/AAAAAAAAADo/xhX82gcOTn0/s1600-h/IMG_0028.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_axRnV2UPbdw/SqgLxwcJPfI/AAAAAAAAADo/xhX82gcOTn0/s400/IMG_0028.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379562704338501106" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;He is often challenging families to build their favorite activity at the fair because it’s so interesting to come around after the game and hear about the cow barns, spinning rides, and fair foods that delighted these families.

What an amazing journey it’s been for the West Coast Team. Even though this is only week 2 of the tour, it feels like we have known each other for years already. By the way, allow me to take a minute to introduce you to everyone on the West Squad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First there is our fearless leader &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Ryan&lt;/span&gt;. Ryan hails from Portland, OR and is a very animated and fun guy. You can't miss him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next there is &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Helen&lt;/span&gt; who hails from Chicago. Helen is comedic relief, always making the most unique and hilarious observations. Then there is &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Nick&lt;/span&gt;, from Columbus, OH. Nick is the detail king and also a comedian in his own right always sharing a good laugh with the crew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next up to bat, there is &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Kylie&lt;/span&gt; who hails from the sunshine state of Florida. Kylie is one tough cookie. Don’t let the cute looks fool you. She holds her own with the best of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last but not least there is &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Jason&lt;/span&gt; (that would be me) who hails from Atlanta, GA. I am the laid back, cool, muscle, and glue of the operation. You might catch me dancing on sight at any impromptu moment. Make sure you say hello to the team when we come to your town.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently, the team and I took The &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;LEGO Experience Tour&lt;/span&gt; to Rockford, IL for the 2009 Rockford AirFest. Two words to describe the feats we witnessed up close and personal: Simply amazing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We were fortunate enough to be set up on the airfield directly in the line of sight of jets taking off and landing. It was truly an exhilarating experience watching these modern marvels of aeronautics seemingly defy the laws of physics with ease. The sonic booms back to back to back to back really gave us an appreciation for how fast these jets really fly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, what are you waiting for? Check out our tour schedule and see when &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;YOU&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;can come &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;EXPERIENCE&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;FUN&lt;/span&gt;!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1067825461863844152-8226884336244172651?l=thelegoexperiencetour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thelegoexperiencetour.blogspot.com/feeds/8226884336244172651/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thelegoexperiencetour.blogspot.com/2009/08/wow-wow-and-wow-what-amazing-journey.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1067825461863844152/posts/default/8226884336244172651'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1067825461863844152/posts/default/8226884336244172651'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thelegoexperiencetour.blogspot.com/2009/08/wow-wow-and-wow-what-amazing-journey.html' title='Meet Team West'/><author><name>LEGOExperience</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18385522056114268021</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='29' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_axRnV2UPbdw/SoXNAPAvlLI/AAAAAAAAABA/RzzjezIuh8Q/S220/LEGO_TourLogo_MiniFig.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_axRnV2UPbdw/SpwK8ts0HhI/AAAAAAAAADQ/gKgr9HMBW5M/s72-c/DSCN0818.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067825461863844152.post-5516950729752651517</id><published>2009-08-26T07:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-26T10:20:22.196-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='state fair'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='THE LEGO EXPERIENCE TOUR'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='minifigure'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Indiana'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Indianapolis'/><title type='text'>The LEGO Experience Tour's East Team Takes on Indianapolis!</title><content type='html'>Chicago was fun, but we were all eager to get on the road and start showing minifigure the rest of the country.
