It was the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend and this
seemed like a day when the traffic to the city wouldn't be bad
and the crowds easily handled, so we decided to drive in
to the Museum of Natural history parking
on 84th Street. While we waited for the rest of them to cross the street
Benjamin
explored the subway entry and we looked at the park
that was named
for Theodore Roosevelt who had a statue
in front of the museum where they sold balloons.
We wanted to see the genomics exhibit
but first we visited the Neanderthals
and dinosaurs
and headed off for lunch stopping for the obligatory phone booth picture
The first restaurant
had too long a wait so we visited the bubble blowing bear
on the way to the good pizza place
where we had these condiments
and some of the family posed for pictures
