I recently told you about our awesome family trip to Canada. If you missed it (some friend you are!), you can still go read about our road trip to Niagara Falls and Toronto. Now I want to tell you all about the amazing hotel we stayed at during our vacation in Toronto.

But that just proves how insanely awesome Lego is, because they can actually make me enjoy (and yes, even laugh) at things like Jar Jar Binks. If you haven’t seen any of the Lego Star Wars movies (or played the video games), you don’t know what you’re …
