How About Some Natural History?

On Saturday, March the 2nd Marzena, Mark, and I were looking for something to do to get us away from 106 Finchley for a bit. So, we decided to go to the Natural History Museum.

This is one museum that I had been wanting to go to, and I tried to go in the Fall when my friends Christine and Brian were here but it was during the school holiday in October so it was really busy.

This was a better day, although there was still a bit of a line to get in.

Inside there were lots of different things featured, although what I remember most is that there were more rocks and things to do with the Earth than I could ever really care about, taxidermic animals, and a moving tyrannosaurus!

Here are some of the facts that I will take away with me from that museum.

1. Uranus rotates on it's side axis...for some reason that planet still makes me laugh like a child when I have to say it.
2. A Tyrannasaurus was larger than 2 double decker buses!
3. A Tyrannasaurus weighs more than 200 children! I only remember this one because a Dad shared it with his daughter behind us as we were walking through the dinosaur exhibit.


This is the entrance to one of the exhibit about the Earth. I was super excited to ride up this escalator!


And here is the moving Tyrannasaurus!

And that was my trip to the Natural History museum!
