Yes, we're losers. We're not going to Hawaii. Not yet. I guess we'll just have to settle for New York and Scotland. Ugh. This recession!
I hope to finally go the Museum of Natural History in New York. I'm excited to go with Duncan's 4 year old nephew, Auden, who is pretty much a dinosaur scientist. He also knows that platelets help blood to clot.
I love museums (ignore the fact that it's been about 10 years since I've been inside a museum). LOVE them. Truly.

There's something creepy about taxidermy but when there's a bunch of dead animals all together in a pretty building, I sort of want to see that. Very Indiana Jones or Ernest Hemingway or something.

the natural history museum in new york has an amazing wall of owls. it's creepy and fascinating all at the same time.
ReplyDeletei hope you get to go - it's a pretty awesome place. plus, on sundays, just a few blocks away is an amazing flea market...(i think it's still there...)
sorry 'bout hawaii, though.

ReplyDeleteI visited the natural history museum for the first time this summer and it was AMAZING. I loved the mammals section.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog by the way! Glad I found it on the etsy forums.
Those vacations sound awesome to me!! Have fun! Thanks for visiting my blog. Yours is awesome!
ReplyDeleteIf you go to scotland, stay in a smaller town and take the train into the bigger towns... its more charming that way.
