you’re never too old for legos

When I was a kid, I had shoe­boxes full of Lego brickss, and was always build­ing some­thing with them. Of course, I was all too happy to buy all sorts of Legos (namely themed kits) for my son when he was younger. Fast for­ward to my mid-40s, and I’m still play­ing with those won­der­ful plas­tic bricks. Lego has a great archi­tec­ture series. A friend has two kits in his home office. Given my love of archi­tec­ture, par­tic­u­larly in Chicago, I had to have my own Lego mod­els for my office. I picked up a cou­ple of kits at the Lego store in New York.

Willis Tower

Farnsworth House

Here are a few kits that are on my wish list.

Han­cock Center

The big boy of the collection!

    That Lego store in Rock­e­feller Cen­ter is awe­some! Last time I was there, I bought one of the empty con­tain­ers that you can fill with what­ever you want, with all the glo­ri­ous color pos­si­bil­i­ties.
    Have fun building!

      I was tak­ing pic­tures of the big tower of bins with dif­fer­ent col­ored bricks in them. I think my eyes were wider than any kid in the store. :-)
