So this past week a bunch of my friends had birthdays (HBD Niki, Dayna, Jodie, Shane, Barrett, anyone else I forgot), but only one (hi Katharine) decided her friends needed an educational experience as part of her celebration ;)
So last Sunday, friends of Princess Katharine got up early, cursed slow people in the Starbucks drive-thru in front of them (ok, that was just me) and trekked down to the Natural History Museum to walk first amongst butterflies in the soon-to-close Butterfly Pavilion and then amongst dinosaurs and bunches of stuffed creatures auditioning for Night at the Museum 3.
A lot of photos were, of course, taken... especially of pretty butterflies:
Then, inside the museum, this question was posed:
Well, this is the belly of a reeeeallllly big dinosaur suspended from the ceiling:
And these are two dinosaurs about to attack each other (well, if they were still alive ...)
Other important questions were also posed in the museum:
...but the exhibits there were real human skulls and stuffed real animals, which creep me out. So no photos of that. Sorry.
Instead, let's move onto lunch.
We were going to go to uber-hotspot-of-the-moment Eggslut in the Grand Central Market in downtown LA, but the line was half the length of the market (long-ways).
So instead we explored and got a variety of yummy stuff. I ended up at Berlin Currywurst, where I had a delish medium-heat brat, and german (don't dare call them french) fries:
Then we relived the birthday girl's childhood and got ice cream at McConnell's Fine Ice Creams. I, of course, had my fave: mint chocolate chip. It was delish!
