New York (Museum of Natural History) ... April 7, 2011

We arrived at the Museum to find out that after 5:00 (or so, I can't remember exactly what time we arrived) the museum is free to enter.  We meandered through the exhibits and the kids pointed out the different characters they recognized from the movie "Night at the Museum" (including Dum Dum below).  I know that may sound lame, but it kept them interested and moving through room to room with a purpose.  And we got to see more of the museum than we would have while the kids ended up paying more attention throughout the experience.
