Los Angeles Natural History Museum

Things we learnt/saw/did at the LA Natural History Museum:

I. it was freezing inside.

II. I didn't realize just how HUGE dinosaurs were.

III. coffee is a life saver in terms of kicking a headache.

IV. we saw copious amounts of REAL gold just sitting there - behind glass, of course.

V. being in a room full of stuffed, deceased animals, some of which had been dead for a 100 years, was somehow not creepy.

VI. I’m a column hugger and proud.

VII. the California state fossil is the Sabre-tooth cat.

VIII. Possums were not native to California. People in the 1800's originally brought them here to eat.

IX. I feel guilty when I don’t read the information boards for the displays…

X. but I still don’t read them.
