"A Great Time"


Today I had an amazing time, I took my brother to the academy of Natural Sciences which has been around for nearly 200 years (AMAZING). Call me weird, or a dork I had a great time. The day was against us (it has been raining non stop since yesterday) but we managed. We arrived at 8th and Market Street around ten and made our way to the museum. The price of admission was incredible only eight bucks with student I.D. I decided to use Spring Break as an opportunity to venture out with my partner in Crime (Antonio my little brother) and learn something new. We saw one of the new exhibit which was the return of Hadrosaurus Foulkii.I was fascinated I mean who would know that before this dinosaur nobody even knew such creatures existed and literally in our back yard history was made, which lead to countless stories and new discoveries. Apart from us having fun in the Butterfly exhibit and searching for dinosaurs in the bone yard. I learned a lot, such as the museum dedicated to dinosaurs that was never constructed due to corrupt politics. So somewhere uncharted in Central Park there are dinosaur bones buried who never found their way to such anticipated museum. I would have never known that if I had never gone. I have to say that if you want to go somewhere where you will have fun for all ages. I strongly suggest going to the museum you'll have a blast.

  1. I was in Philly with my parents yesterday and we saw the Cezanne exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. I learned so much about the man who literally invented Impressionist painting. Like you, I see such value in museums, and how they provide learning experiences that TV and Internet could never replicate.
