United States Museum of Natural History and Science

We started to drive back to base after we left the zoo and realized that it was too early to go back home, that our children would go stir-crazy sitting doing nothing. So we used our GPS and found a couple of museums. The kids chose to go to the Natural History museum. This shocked us, but we did what they wanted to do!!!

We decided that it wasn't a waste of money, but was definitly above what the kids could understand. They enjoyed seeing the displays but didn't really understand what everything was. It was a LOT of reading and a LOT of understanding large concepts. It wasn't really that big, it only took about an hour or so to walk through. But all in all, there were some pretty cool dinosaour replica's to take pictures of! Both of my kiddo's fell asleep, FINALLY! And it bought us some time till dinner and winding down for bed. We still had to go to the aquarium on Sunday and Drive three hours back to Alamogordo!!! Everyone had fun....so day well spent!
