I thought it was the start of a really bad day. Lukie requested a visit to the dino museum
(Natural History Museum to most people).
Since we had just read an article in the paper about the Smithsonian
buying some great T-rex fossil, I figured what a great way to spend our Friday
AM. Got to the museum and found the
dino/fossil area closed off with a “to reopen in 2019” sign on it. 2019? Are
you kidding me? How long does it take
you to put together a fossil that was found in the late 80s? Everyone knows what a T-rex looks like. Slap that thing together and get on with
it. We obviously need to spend more
government money on the Smithsonian because Lukie will be 9 and probably not
even care about dinos by the time you folks unveil this silly fossil. (end of rant)
With a sad and confused Lukie, I headed quickly to the exhibits
upstairs (which we have actually NEVER seen because we never get past the
dinos). Found a bug/insect area (of
course sponsored by Orkin because after having you look at all the creepy
crawly things with your kids they want you to feel like you HAVE to have some
type of pest control). I have to say..it
was so cool. We saw a black widow, live
bee hive that had bees coming in from outside, tarantulas and all sorts of ants
and roaches. Lukie even got to pet a
grasshopper. We also discovered the
mummy room. Lukie thought that was super
cool too. So, although we will miss the
dinos and anxiously await the unveiling of our new T-rex, so many other cool
things to see!
Oh and Lukie not only decided to wear his PJs all day (as
usual), he decided that going commando (no undies) would be cool and that he
needed to wear a fleece bathrobe to the bus stop to pick up Samson. Feel like he might be channeling Hugh Hefner. One of the ladies at the bus stop took a
picture. I might have to post.
