25th Birthday #2

The grand entrance-- brachisaur and a toothy fellow....


Randel and I traveled to the American Museum of Natural History for his 25th (26th... but I didn't tell you that) Birthday. We saw as much as we could in the 5+ hours that we were there, including a special Live Frog Exhibition and a Planetarium show. Once at the museum, we paid a lot of money to a machine that doesn't thank you for your patronage, and then we quickly ate in the air conditioned bliss of a cafeteria in the basement of the museum. We wandered through several dinosaur fossil halls (my first time seeing dino bones... real ones), the biodiversity wing, the undersea hall, and the Asian Mammals and and Asian peoples wings.

Velocoraptor-- not a cast.




"Who has a walnut-sized brain and a spikey tail?? This Guy"



In your face!


"Hello, my name is Red. Nice to Meet you.Name fits, doesn't it... my parents are assholes."



Biodiversity Wing... freaking awesome. Could spend a day there reading all of the intricacies.

Other firsts for Randel today: Visiting Manhattan, the Long Island Rail Road, New York City Subway, Central Park. Randel says the subway is freakishly efficient and that he was impressed.

Japanese Spider Crab....and Randel
