NYC - Last Day & Natural History Museum

After the late night at the play, we had a slow start to our last morning in NYC, but we made the most of it, starting off with a perfect diner breakfast.

From there we headed up to the American Museum of Natural History across from Central Park. The boys have watched all of the NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM movies, so had high expectations for this stop. Alas, they both lamented, "this looks NOTHING like the movie!" Despite that, they both had a great time exploring the museum. Holden was especially hooked right from the git go, spending at least 30 min in the reptile room and only seeing half of it before Nate finally got him to move on. The boys enjoyed seeing some of the artifacts/replicas that are characters in the movie along with loads more. Safe to say that Holden, especially, would be happy to go back and explore other areas again and again. I especially liked the Central/South and NW Americas sections.

Once we finished up at the museum we headed back to Hell's Kitchen for lunch, hugged Heather and Robbie goodbye and made our way to the train station to make our way back to DC.Leggi altro
