I don't think it's a secret that I'm not the biggest fan of museums. That being said, I've gone to the American Museum of Natural History many times on field trips -- but I don't think I've ever gone to a paid exhibit.

We went today and saw two exhibits: Dark Universe & The Power of Poison.

Dark Universe was a show in the planetarium ... wow, it was COOL! I don't actually think any of the information delivered was that interesting, but just watching a show in the planetarium was freaking cool (I've never gone before).

Then, we saw The Power of Poison.

I don't know what I was expecting, but it was really cool. They had poison animals, fairy tales, literature, food, a demonstration about a trial involving poison, a "pet detective" game to solve the clues about why a dog was dead, and then that's about the point that we sped through the end because I am NOT feeling well at all.

The point is, if you're in NYC and you go to the museum and see these exhibits -- go to them!

Universal Studios, Orlando, Florida

Yesterday I made the trip over to O-town to go to Universal with a my friend, Katie, who was down from NYC. 

It was the BEST amusement park day! 

We wanted to go to both parks so I just bought the year-long pass because it was only $50 more so I was like, as long as I go back one more time, I'll be golden!

We went to Islands of Adventure first. 

Also they had a train conductor man standing by the train taking pics with people - never seen that before. He asked me if I was a Weasley... so I love him. 

To be honest, IoA is not really my jam because I don't like roller coasters. 

Then we headed over to the original US and I hadn't been there in legit 10 years (at least) and I liked it a lot better. lol. 

Overall a great day at the park! It was tainted a little bit because I was on antibiotics that made me very sensitive to sun so I had to wear a hat and 110 SPF and I also was overly concerned about tendonitis which is a side effect of the antibiotic that affects 60 + year olds...so of course I'd be worried ;)

Bon Voyage,
