before heading to the Legoland area in town, where we checked out the Legoland Hotel before the place actually opened.

Finally, it was time to head to Legoland New York.

We started out taking the cable car 

down to the pirate area

where we did some of the rides.

Moving on to Lego City,

of which we only tried the Ocean Explorers ride.

We had to get the Granny's Apple Fries of course, 

which were pretty good with the Big Apple Sundae (layers of apple fries, swirled vanilla and green apple ice cream, whipped cream and caramel sauce) we got.

With that, we headed for the Castle region,

where we got to do the best ride in the theme park, Dragon.

Next it was the land of Peppa Pig,

From here, we headed to the Ninjago section.

Next, the Bricktopia area,

where I definitely don't recommend the Professor Brick's Adventure ride, which was pretty boring in my opinion.

Finally, we went all the way back down checking out Miniland.

Thankfully we didn't have to walk all the way back up, we just needed to take the cable car up. 

With that, we were finally done with Legoland, and we headed to the Woodbury Common Premium Outlets in Woodbury NY

for lunch at Kinton Ramen. Pretty nice inside.

We got the Beef Spicy Garlic Ramen (A fiery, bold beef ramen balanced with a nice kick of garlic and chili heat. chili pepper, beef, bamboo shoots, wood ear mushrooms, grated garlic, shredded chili pepper, scallions), the  Pork Original Ramen (A timeless classic with our rich, creamy, umami-packed broth and tender slices of pork that melt in your mouth. sea salt, pork, bamboo shoots, nori, wood ear mushrooms, seasoned egg, scallions),

and the Pork Gyoza (4 pieces of crispy dumplings served with our original sweet chili sauce.

dumplings, original sweet chili sauce).

Pretty good meal before the next leg of our journey, which was to head into Yonkers NY, where we checked out the Costco here. We decided to grab a quick bite here, getting the Chocolate Vanilla Twist Ice Cream,

the Chicken Bake

and the Strawberry Banana Smoothie.

Will never get the chicken bake again, way too pasty. Everything was not bad, and for cheap too. 

With that, we headed for our hotel for the night at Hampton Inn and Suites Yonkers-Westchester in town.

Time to head home tomorrow!
