Living La Vida Lego

When you build a house or castle out of Lego, you can’t help but think how cool it would be to live in a life-size building like that. Well, the California Legoland has done it with their Lego Hotel. The building itself isn’t totally made out of Legos, but it’s very Lego-y. There are about 3,400 different sculptures in the hotel, using 3 million Lego pieces in total. But the nice thing about your regular home is no one can take it apart while you eat dinner.
