Elderbeasts 2
I got to take my family up to Washington DC this past weekend. It was amazing, we saw all kinds of amazing art we had never seen before and my kids remained tolerant as long as we split the day with something more geared towards their interests. So we hit the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum as well as the Natural History Museum. Whoa. Some of the craziest creatures were in that place, I’ve seen a lot on line, but they actually had them. Some truly freaky stuff particularly in the deep see exhibits.

There was a particularly cool addition to the dinosaurs’ exhibit where they showed old photos of the skeletons posed with their tails dragging on the ground. Once it was discovered that this was an error, they adjusted the display, but used this as an example of how the museum changes with the times. So I thought it would be cool to have a creature that did slump his huge tail on the ground.

Good trip, I highly recommend it! Hope you like my critters!
