New York Time Square & The American Museum of Natural History

Have we mentioned that we love New York?  Well it's true and we decided to see more of it!  Our goal was to end up at the American Museum of Natural History.  We found our way to Time Square where we took a couple pictures and then had lunch! We forgot our camera so got to buy a very pricey one time use camera at Grand Central Station... Here are our pics!

 I love this picture! I just wish Maggie was awake and smiling big!
 We then caught the subway to the museum.  Unfortunately a lot of our pictures didn't really turn out... here are some that did... This was a cool scale model they had where the silver dome is used as a reference of size to something they are showing... In this photo below... the planets sizes were in reference to the dome if the dome were the Sun.  It was really neat because they should from clusters of galaxies all the way down to neutrons and protons!

 Posing in front of what I call the cluster exhibit, they had everything on this wall from fish to birds to mammals....
 The museum was huge and right next to central park we ventured outside and caught a glimpse but spent most of our time in the museum lost... They don't have the best signage there... and finding a restroom is hard... it is even harder when Maggie's diaper fails and she pees all over me in an elevator!!!  I ended up stripping her down in a empty corner in a not so popular section so that at least the pee fountain was fixed up so we could continue our bathroom search with less to worry about!!  We did find it by the time we got there the pee on my was nearly dry... thank God urine is sterile (don't worry I still washed up)!

After the museum we headed back to Time Square (really it was a transfer stop for us on the subway)!
 We found a Bubba Gump Shrimp Co there and decided that was where dinner should be! And it was Delicious!!! The sun went down while we dined so as we left Time Square was lit up and if you look at the picture right above you can see the ball that drops every new year at the top of the ads behind Seana!
All in all a fun trip into the city! Also the one trip into the city that we witness a weirdo busy at making everyone uncomfortable on the subway... Luckily he ignored us!!
