Natural History Museum

I woke up this morning with the little one moving and kicking about... As long as 0800 is the time she decides she wants to be up, I would say we are going to pleasantly surprised, unfortunately, I do not think this will always be this way.

Anyhow, Kevin and I took Shaye for a walk and decided to change things up a bit today. We were going to go for a short hike, but all the trails that we wanted to go on were either to far for me to hike (6 miles or more) or we needed a pass that we did not have. So, instead we decided to head down to Balboa Park and check out the Natural History Museum. It was nice to get out of the house and learn a little about the different species that have come and gone and I even learned about Oxbows (lakes that were once part of a river but have since been pinched off). We even took in a short 3D film on the Secrets of Mummies, which was very interesting. I did notice the museum was nothing close to what you would find in one of the Smithsonians, but it was just big enough that by the time we were finished looking at everything I was ready for lunch! =)

During the video the little one decided she wanted to shove up to the top of my stomach and nestle there for a bit. It is now three hours later and she is still tucked up in what feels like a ball, just under my rib cage, just moving about. Kevin is playing his new game I got him and Shaye is taking a nap... which is exactly where I am headed. Not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow, but luckily, it's a short week. I am finding that nap time is my favorite time of day recently.
