An outing.

We drove to Los Angeles, which we hardly ever do ( and I mean WE since Brett drives there for work almost every week, poor guy) I am not a big fan of LA (sorry Kami) but I have been dying to go here...

LA museum


As you can see they had a Spider exhibit going. I was sad since I have been wanting to see their Butterfly exhibit, but it is out of season and they have spiders instead, yuck!

I also really wanted to see Dinosaur's but their exhibit is closed until 2011. This is all that they had to see.

T-Rex


They did have a room where you could watch them exhume some bones, which was interesting. In that room they also had these for the kids:

I was surprised by the Marine section. Some fish are HUGE. Gwenie liked this exhibit, she could just run around.

There was this dark section that showed you some fish in the sea that live really far down in the ocean, where it is really dark, apparently you have to have it dark to see them. This was Gwenie's favorite, she did not want to leave it for some reason.

The lighting was SO bad in the museum so none of the pictures turned out great, but I still wanted to document Gweniveve's 1st trip to a museum.

Finally it was time to leave, we were tired and a little disappointed by the trip. I think we both were expecting more, still it was interesting and a different outing for us. As we were leaving there was no one else on the steps so I got this great picture of Gwenie.
