Lions and Tigers and Elephants, Oh My!

The last week has been maelstrom of congestion, traffic, frustration and muck thanks to a 9/11-related terror threat, a Presidential visit, a United Nations session and, well, Mother Nature's contribution....heavy rain.

On Saturday morning we decided a good old-fashioned museum visit would be just the thing.  Lulu had never been to the Natural History Museum, and with 5 or 6 visits under his belt Cavan was feeling like quite the tour guide.  We started at the elephants.

And then Big Brother pointed out the virtues of the stately ostrich.

After visits with birds, giraffes, bears, reptiles, gorillas, Plains Indians and the Hall of Biodiversity we were all ready to call it a day.  Rainy weekends aren't so bad after all.
