Museum of Natural History

My friend Nikki turned 25 this month and for her birthday party she had a scavenger hunt in the Museum of Natural History.  

There were four groups and each had three to four people in them and I got to be in the birthday girls group.  We had an hour and a half to find thirty things ranging from finding the most ferocious lizard to finding what you would weigh on Saturn.

 Waiting in line to get tickets!  I was really excited I have never been so this was my first chance to see the museum and I was very impressed! There is so much to see and I can't wait until I can come some random day in the Winter when most of the tourists are gone and just explore.

 Dinosaurs.... they are huge and so weird looking to be honest.

 I kind of was obsessed with turtles during our adventures.  There were so many and I couldn't get enough.  They are so cute and some of them are HUGE!

 This is something that we had to find on the scavenger hunt and it is a Chinese Wedding Chair and very beautiful.  These women have never met their husbands and will most likely never see their families again once they get married.  I will pass on that tradition.

 My favorite part was where all the gems and stones were as well as the space area.  I love bling and I find space fascinating.  There is so much too learn and I need to visit more often to broaden my horizons.

Hug a meteorite....check!

Waiting for the last group to show up.  We went through every floor and I swear almost every exhibit in a short amount of time and it was really fun and exhausting!  Such a fun birthday party....only in NYC!
