New York Day 2 Natural History Museum

 I don't know if you know this, but I absolutely love natural history museums. They are one of my favorite kind of museums to go to. I love learning about Earth, animals, space and who can forget dinosaurs. So, I was very excited that John and I got to explore the 45 halls of the Natural History Museum in New York. 
In order to see everything that we wanted to see in the museum we didn't spend a whole lot of time reading the plaques on the different exhibits. That is one of my favorite things to do but there was so much to see and we only had 5 hours to see it. We didn't want to miss anything.

After walking around for awhile we found this area to sit, rest and people watch.
