Day at the Museum

I love being a tourist in my own city.

Any excuse to get lost in beautiful Balboa Park is good enough for me, 

so when I saw that there is a new exhibit going on at the San Diego Natural History Museum,

I made it a point to make my way over to the historical landmark.

The Discovery of King Tut recreates the awe and marvel of the moment of discovery.
Using state-of-the-art technology, the exhibition recreates a piece of the fascinating, bygone exotic empire on the Nile.
It's a great visit back in time, and overall, provides a good overview of the excavation itself, its story, and its invaluable legacy.

This was my first time visiting the SD Natural History Museum since....
I don't even know, fifth grade?!
Oh what I would give to go back to those days.. a whole week of field trips around Balboa Park?
Sounds amazing.
Kind of made me feel like a kid again,
and who doesn't love that?

The tickets for the King Tut exhibit includes admission to the whole museum, 

so make sure you schedule in a few hours to check out the rest of the NAT.

A little nature outside the Natural History Museum. 

How perfect.
