It’s About Time the Lego Back to the Future DeLorean Arrived

Lego

The year is 2014. We don’t have flying cars. Or time machines. Or… sigh… even hoverboards. But we do have Back to the Future Legos. And that’s good enough for me! Allie and the boys got me a Lego Back to the Future set for my birthday last month and I finally got around to putting this sucker together. It was the perfect relaxing finish to a holiday weekend.
