Let's take a walk

Took a bus ride actually. Planned to go to the Armory. Ended up hopping a bust to Harvard. Because the bus driver actually pulled over for us. He said, you're going to Harvard right? We weren't looking a gift bus in the mouth. Popped out head in a few places and nothing seemed to interesting. So we went to the Hong Kong.

Our nemesis must be defeated!



So after some lovely potion, we were off to see the Museum of Natural History in Harvard.

This is on the walk, not the museum.
The exterior of the museum is ugly.




This is pretty evil looking. It's called a Mastadon.
'The animal, not the greatest band ever,' Tyler corrects.

Hi, I'm a sloth. Want a hug?
Pretty sure Armadillo plating is going to be the next fashion statement





Um, hi, can I help you?            
Monkey Monkey Monkey Monkey!
Actually, these are apes.

Look at that honey badger. Honey badger dont give an eff!

That Lion thinks he's so awesome. Oooh, look at my mane, it's so pretty.
Oooh, I'm such a pretty lion.  He's right behind me, isnt he?












Do you know the secret of these flowers?

 Everything you see here is made of glass!

This is only half of the museum! A lot more up there than we expected. More to go for next time - geodes and such. My amazing city orienteering dumped us out on Mass Ave and we walked up to Porter Square. Picked up a cab, and immediately succumbed to couch lock.

Uh, the baby had a baby

Tyler ordered another ukelele - and they sent him a baritone uke. And he wanted one anyway, so it was a Great Magnet mistake that wasn't really a mistake...


And now we have two Uke babies

Project Placement

I finally found some posters I've been coveting of places we've been for a reasonable price! I got the New Orleans one from DeeDee:914 on Etsy. I found the other two art prints by Hero Design Studio on Fab.com * (which truly is Fab). I love that the San Fran and Chicago prints match, but wish I had looked around a little more. I found some awesome Chicago prints on Etsy. But I love that these three have the teal sky blue theme and wanted a common thread through our travelogue series. 

So then I framed everything, getting awesome prices and fitting all my odd sizes from Art to Frames. I usually get all my frames from Christmas Tree Shops, but they dont have large sized white wood frames. If you look at the rest of our house (besides the historical documents below), EVERYTHING is in Christmas Tree Shop white wood frames. Had to find something to match. Now, we're not sure about placement in the house, or even order of these prints. I do love them against the orange walls though. What do you think?
