Natural History Museum

We had a good time at the natural History museum. I was surprised that Calvin wasn't that into the dinosaur bones. He barely gave them a second glance. But he loved looking at the fish, the snakes, the salamanders and butterflies. Then, upstairs there was a display about the origins of the universe, and it was in a dark tunnel with glowing pictures of the Big Bang and dust particles swirling and planets forming. He loved that. There was a video about pulsars, that showed how when a sun that's ten times the size of our sun dies, it turns into a pulsar, shooting light in a circular beam around us. That video gave us some perspective on what Quinn does all day at work (we usually just smile and nod when he talks about pulsars). Calvin was most excited about being able to drive the Mars rover with a remote control.
