In Search of Dinosaurs...

On Monday morning Tom and I went off in search of DINOSAURS! So we headed up to the Natural History Museum nice and early and as we walked through the doors we were greeted by these little chaps...

The museum was already pretty busy and it had only been open for half an hour or so, it's such a fantastic place - it was great to be able to go back there with Tom, looking at all the fascinating animals and dinosaurs.


The T-Rex and Tricerotops looked just as awesome as last time, I don't think I could grow tired of looking at them - they're extraordinar, as were some of the other creatures they had one show - this one was called a Thomasus Langridious...

(Only joking Tom!)

It was great to go back to the museum and see the Dinosaurs again and go into some of the rooms that I missed last time, including the Deep Sea Room where they have a scale model of a massive blue whale...

After we had taken in as much natural history as we could, we walked through Central Park in the blistering heat (it was ridiculously hot) and headed down to the Meat Packing District to walk along the Highline.

It was so incredibly hot, walking at any speed was tiring and sweaty work - so by the time we'd reached the Meat Packing District we needed a drink. We stopped off at a little place called Brass Monkey for a nice cold pint(ish) or Summer Ale.

Cheers!

Then we walked the length of the Highline. It was nice and quite, I think lots of people were out of town for the July 4th weekend, but it was lovely. We walked right up to the barrier of the new bit that they're building, juding by the plans it looks like they're less than half way through the build for the park, it's going to be amazing when it's all finished... I wonder when they'll complete it all?
