Smithsonian Natural History Museum {Summer Travels}

Such a hot, hazy day in Washington DC, and we made our way to one of my kids' favorite places: The Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC.  The kids really like the fossil area, and my youngest still calls the T-Rex "Rexy" (from the movie Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian).  Two years ago, when we first visited, we got to see that movie here at the Smithsonian's IMAX!

 Ready to have an awesome time!


 The fossils exhibit.

 Triceratops



 More fossils!

 Historic ocean creatures

 Mammals!


 If you give a moose a muffin...

 or two!
XD

 Porcupine hair!

 Two little monkeys...

 My kids thought it was great fun to put their hats on the monkey skulls.



 Simulated cave drawings.

 Early humans (new exhibit *fascinating!*)


 Written in bone exhibit. (my favorite)

If you want to learn more about the museum, here is an informative video from About.com.

Had a great time!  

Best,
Krysten

Hershey, PA: Chocolate World {Summer Travels}

On our way down to Virginia, we stopped at Hershey Chocolate World by request for a quick visit to the factory and some chocolate, of course.  We will have to come back some other time for a full visit to the park, but for now, this satisfied our sweet tooth!  Especially since the main tour and factory role-play is *FREE* unless you choose to buy tickets to their extra attractions, or buy some souvenirs!

 The beautiful Pennsylvania Countryside


 Welcome to Hershey!


In line for the tour. 

 Moo-tiful!

 "It's the milk chocolate!"







 Never too old...


 Factory worker role-play.



A sweet diversion!

Best,
Krysten
