We got a slightly earlier start today as it was going to be the busiest yet for us. We took the blue line subway up to The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) on Central Park West at 81st St. We all purchased the "combo" ticket which gave us entry to four special exhibits along with the normal museum halls. There was lots of new stuff at the AMNH since Patty & I had last visited more than 10 years ago. An entire new building was put up around a brand new planetarium theater that's now called "The Rose Center". The star show was by far the best any of us had ever seen. It was all about "collisions" of heavenly bodies. We also watched an IMAX movie in another theater that was about large dinosaur sea "monsters". Following this, we also saw two special exhibits on "Lizards and Snakes, ALIVE" and another one on horses. We ended our visit to the museum by seeing exhibits on African Mammals, Dinosaurs, meteorites and gems (Star of India Sapphire). At 4:45 PM we left the museum and traveled by subway to Greenwich Village where we ate dinner at The Cornella Street Cafe (it was a fine meal). We then strolled through this famous section of NYC setting our sites on Washington Square Park. A final subway ride up to Times Square allowed us an on-time arrival at the musical play, "A Catered Affair". The show was not as good as we had hoped but, c'est la vie. Final note: Chris' pedometer registered us walking 8 full miles today. Yikes!
