Natural History Museum

This past weekend we headed out for a day in London...with our main stop being the Natural History museum. The girls have been looking forward to seeing a few dinosaurs and we can check it off their "to see" list! We drove down to Epping and took the train in and that is always the start of the fun day for the girls. They love riding the train and I'm actually fine with it until we get into the busy parts of the underground. A few train lines were down this past weekend, so we had a few tight train rides, but we survived. We packed our lunch and ate at the Museum, but couldn't get fast enough for the girls.
The line to see the T-rex was pretty long, but worth the wait (for the girls)....it wasn't bones...it looked like a "real" dinosaur. You would have thought it was a real one because people were hanging over the rail looking at it like it was going to move and do something! Jenna loved it but Meghan got a little scared and hid behind Rob.
We could probably go back to the museum a few more times and see things we missed this first time. We really enjoy our days out in London and we look forward to many more.

Oh what sweet pictures! You may have already been, but if not, I thoroughly recommend the Science Museum in London - it's free, busy, and hands on!
