Thank you Theodore Roosevelt

Yesterday we visited the American Museum of Natural History in New York City and had such a fantastic time! Antonio, Sofia, Anthony and I drove up to NYC for the day and roamed the halls of this massive stone building that houses over 30 million specimens in over 40 exhibition halls - pretty impressive, right?

Antonio was up with us for the weekend and the night before we all watched Night at the Museum to get us geared up to go the next day. While the movie was definitely cute (bad description of a movie, I know), it was nothing compared to what we saw in person.

Just arrived and already giving the museum a thumbs up!

Oh, the things we'll see today...where to next Sofia?

In the Hall of Northwest Coast Indians

The 63-foot long Haida Canoe - carved from a single piece of wood



If you could have your pick of these amazing gems...

After an incredibly fun day, ready to head home


*BTW, Theodore Roosevelt was one of the founders of the museum - just in case you were curious about my acknowledgment in the title
