Clearly the biggest hit at Legoland was the Volvo Test Track where the kids drove their own cars through a Lego world. They had the freedom to drive wherever they wanted, which made it a much better than rides where you have to follow some sort of guide rail.
This philosophy was also carried on in a boat ride that the boys navigated later. At the end of the boat ride, Alex told Jenny that he was "a crazy speed boat driver," which made me smile. Alex is a smart kid, but he is completely in the dark with regard to the origin of that phrase. If you can remember years past, you will recall that Tim Huff first used that phrase to describe Grandpa's driving of a van, and it has been part of the Patton vernacular ever since.

Here are the postcards that were sent to Michael and Alex's grandparents and greatgrandparents via Cardstore.com. I think of them as a mixture of public relations and propaganda. Read enough of their lives, and you can consider yourself a virtual grandparent/aunt/uncle. There are worse things.
