Christmas Lego Builds

As many of you know, we usually complete a family Lego build each Christmas.  Unfortunately, we didn’t have Blair with us this year, but MJ and I worked on it and provided him with updates…which he hated.  I also had a second build this year.  My buddy Jason gave me the Lego Mercedes F1 kit as a Christmas gift, which was very nice of him.    

 So, I built that today as well. 

 

Our family holiday build is the Colosseum.  You can see both builds below along with some actual photos I took at the real Colosseum.

Colosseum

This wonderful place is also called Flavian Amphitheatre.  Rome has so many historical locations and sites, its impossible to see them all in a single visit.  I really enjoyed our stop at the Colosseum, but I wish we could have stayed longer and without the other thousand tourist.  They claim it could hold between 50,000 to 80,000 spectators, but I have my doubts.  I’ve been in massive modern stadiums that only hold 40,000.  I don’t see any way this place could hold as many people as they claim.  Anyway….its a great location and worth checking out.

The Colosseum

During our Rome Italy visit, we had a short stop at the Colosseum.  Unfortunately, our time there was peak tourist time….so there was people everywhere.  The forced me to try very hard to capture it in a way that was unique and didn’t have tourists in the way.  Thus this photo of the Colosseum in a way you’ve never probably seen before.
