New York Adventure - Part 6

Part 6.

Or Part 2 of Day 4. This is just getting way too complicated lol.

So after we left the ferry, we decided to get back on the train and head to the Natural History Museum, which is located on the Upper West Side. I was excited because I hadn't actually been to this part of the city yet and it was the one I was most curious about. Why? I don't know, it just seems rich to me.

Anyway, we hopped back onto the train and took it for nearly an hour all the way through Manhattan. It was a long trip, but not horrible. It was actually kind of fun just watching people get on and off going about their day.

We made it to our stop and we knew that we were going to have to walk about a half mile through a neighborhood to make it into the museum. The museum itself does have a subway station inside of it, but we were on the wrong train for that, besides in hindsight I am so happy we did have to walk.

When I came out of the subway grate and onto the street, I felt like I had been beamed into an entirely different city. The streets were quiet, except for a lady walking her very expensive looking white poodle. Trees lined the street in front of the most beautiful brownstones I had ever seen. Even the air smelled different. I felt like I had walked onto the set of Sex and the City (and I very well could have lol)

We walked through a small little park, making sure to mess with the pigeons a little while we were there, and then into the Natural History Museum.

Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures available for the trip to the museum. I did take a ton, but they were stored on a thumb drive that I somehow managed to lose in the three years since. Sorry about that, but I will say that I loved it. The dinosaurs were much, much larger than I had thought they were. I mean you know they are big, but until you see them in person, you have no idea.

We watched a cool video about space while in a planetarium. It was narrated by Whoopi Goldberg and I highly recommend it if you are in the museum.

We spent a few hours touring the museum and then caught the train back to our hotel to rest up before the show. Stay tuned for the final part of this adventure where I tell you about what it was like going to see Broadway for the first time, and a little trip to times square, this time at night.
