For the second half of our anniversary outings we went to Yale Peabody Museum. I haven't been there since 2009 so I was really looking forward to this little trip.
Before you get to the entrance of the museum there is a dinosaur statue!
The museum is celebrating 150 years this year! Look at that beautiful old architecture.
Since it is the 150th anniversary for the museum they had a special exhibit up to show off their history.
Look at this creepy worm...
Reminds me of the Xenomorph in those old "Alien" movies. It's an underwater worm and it is pretty big
A rifle belonging to Buffalo Bill
Various sea life
Butterflies!
Look at those pretty colors
Dino fossil
More insects and butterflies
Giant clam
Gorilla Skeleton
On to the main attraction! Dinosaurs!!
Just one leg bone is as tall as Justin (6')
Feeling short next to this one...
Look at that giant turtle!
More fossils
A cast of a t-rex skull
Crocodile
A huge sea turtle
Petrified wood.
Plesiasaur
Mammoth
This one was cool! Apparently there used to be a type of giant Camel in North America AND a type of mini camel
I can't imagine how cute these must have looked
Diego and Sid?
I didn't know Dire Wolfs were real. I thought it was fictional.
Various weapons. Pretty neat carving
More weapons with amazing carving
Wooden bird
Look at how pretty this Malachite is.
Smithsonite is pretty interesting looking too
Mountain Goat diorama
Justin found his inspiration for that beard of his
Hands down our favorite exhibit was the bird room
Justin loves owls so he was pretty excited.
Barn Owls are soo cute!
Puffins have such colorful beaks
Wrens are so tiny.
Look at that bright red!
I have seen orioles a few times in my state. They are so pretty.
My favorite bird! The Sparrow Hawk!
Dodo skeleton. Looks like it swallowed a watermelon!
Pretty ducks
Wood ducks are gorgeous
Diorama of my state's woodland areas.
Do you see the turtle in the background?
Justin got a kick out of this sarcophagus
"It looks like it's winking!"
A Mummy of a man in his 20s that was probably murdered. There is blunt force trauma to the skull.

So that was our trip to Peabody Museum! It was a lot fun and I am looking forward to bringing my future kids there someday!
Thank you for all the kind comments and congrats on our anniversary!
Love, Rebecca
