After nine days of spending all our free time building, the Lego Millennium Falcon is complete!
Overall, it was a frustrating build, which included having to spend a couple of nights rebuilding pieces that fell off. But it looks nice, and I’m glad that it’s done!

Before we take on the 7,541 piece Lego Millennium Falcon, we spent the last three days building the 1,953 piece Lego X-Wing!

Randomly found a Hello Kitty Cafe in Santa Clara. Diana and I didn’t go in because it was crazy expensive!

Diana and I put together a Lego World map where we can mark places we’ve traveled (Alaska, Japan, England, and Scotland). We also went ahead and marked Italy since we’ll be going next year.

Like with the Nintendo NES, I didn’t grow up with the Atari 2600 (it came out almost a decade before I was born). However, I appreciate its place in gaming history, so I absolutely wanted to build its Lego version!

It’s Zelda, so I’m sure I’ll end up buying it…whatever it is.

Saw the Chainsaw Man movie today. It was great! However, I wanted to talk about one thing anime fans should never do: leave an anime movie BEFORE the credits end! More often than not, there’s additional story after the credits are over! It’s worth sitting through the credits to not miss anything!

Wife and I normally don’t get Funko Pops signed, but we made an exception for the voice actors for our favorite Sonic franchise characters!

One thing I miss about Japan is how easy it is to get coffee from vending machines. That option isn’t as readily available in the US.
