American Museum of Natural History

J and I could have easily spent the entire day here. It was THAT amazing. I had heard that the dinosaur exhibit was a must-see, so we headed there first, after we wasted our time in some movie. First and foremost, this movie was called something along the lines of “The Great Ocean” or whatever, which led me to believe it would be about, you know, the ocean. Fact: this movie should have been called “Sardines in South Africa” because it was actually just about the sardine farming practices in South Africa, and the ways in which sardines have evolved to survive attackers. I mean it was interesting, but not what I had paid to see.

Anyway, back on topic. Dinosaurs. They were just as great as I had hoped. Lots of fossils, plus they even had dinosaur eggs! I had never seen one, so this was pretty cool.
