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
P5270003
on 84th Street. While we waited for the rest of them to cross the street
P5270004
Benjamin
P5270005
explored the subway entry and we looked at the park
P5270006
that was named
P5270007
for Theodore Roosevelt who had a statue
P5270008
in front of the museum where they sold balloons.
P5270009
We wanted to see the genomics exhibit
P5270010
but first we visited the Neanderthals
P5270011
P5270013
and dinosaurs
P5270014
P5270015
P5270016
and headed off for lunch stopping for the obligatory phone booth picture
P5270017
The first restaurant
P5270018
had too long a wait so we visited the bubble blowing bear
P5270019
on the way to the good pizza place
P5270020
where we had these condiments
P5270021
and some of the family posed for pictures
P5270022
P5270023
P5270024
P5270025
P5270026
P5270027
Suzanne went back to the toy store
P5270028
on the way back to the museum where this police car
P5270029
was parked.
