Natural History Museum

August 29th--We were slow moving this morning after our late night. Abby and I walked to the grocery store while Mike and Austin stayed back to prepare lunch. When we got back from the store, we all ate lunch before heading out to the Natural History Museum. We took the bus straight to the museum. We had been told that this museum was a great place for kids. Since it is a holiday weekend, we had to stand in the queue, but not too long. The museum immediately reminded us of the movie, "Night at the Museum". We were greeted by a huge dinosaur in the center of the lobby so our first stop was the dinosaurs exhibit. After the dinosaurs, we saw mammals, fish and played fun games that explored the human mind and body. They had so much to do in there. It was a great way to spend the afternoon...and it was all free! We stopped off for an afternoon snack at the end before deciding to head down the street to Harrod's. I had been wanting to go to Harrod's since we got to London, but Saturday was not the day to do it. We fought the crowd through the food hall and then up to the 2nd floor where they have their Christmas department already set up. Before leaving, we went to the Lower Ground Floor to see the Princess Diana Memorial. We decided it would be best to come back another day so we didn't stay long. As we were walking on the sidewalk in front of Harrod's, we noticed the same Memorial picture. It was there to remember the 12 year anniversary of the tragic accident in Paris.
