July 13, 2011 - Dino Deal

 Today  I took the boys and Josefina down to the Natural History Museum.  A free teacher preview of their Dino Hall, opening on July 16th, was graciously being offered.  Although the boys are a bit young for this level of information, they sure enjoyed the enormity of the dinosaur fossils and the opportunity to explore in the discovery room on the second floor.  After lunch, we headed over to the Butterfly Pavillion to see the array of beautiful  butterflies and then roamed through the Rose Garden before making our way back to Whittier.  Short day trips rock!
