LegoLand California- The Inauguration is already happening.

[Ichingcarpenter]

Visitors to the Carlsbad, California theme park can see the whole ceremony complete with Lego White House, Mall, parade, motorcade, porta-potties, and of course, the first families.

Presidents Bush 43 and 41 and their First Ladies are in attendance. Lego craftsmen decided to make the older President Bush nod off during the event as he’s been to a lot of them before. Of course, President Clinton and still-Senator Hillary Clinton are in attendance.

President-elect Obama’s daughters are standing behind the President-elect as he is sworn into office.

More than 1,000 figures are in the ceremony including a Lego version of the Queen of Soul - Aretha Franklin - who will sing during the actual ceremony.
