Since I was shopping for my wedding dress over Valentine's Day weekend, Owen and I had to postpone our day date that we had planned to the Natural History Museum. The great thing about LA is that you can watch a documentary on TV and then go to the museum or science center the next day and learn more about it. In keeping with our Netflix trend, we opted for the museum, followed by watching Monuments Men and meeting up with our friends Holli and Rory for dinner.
Every Friday, Owen and I have "Taco Friday" where we, obviously, eat tacos and watch "Gold Rush" on the Discovery Channel, followed by Bearing Sea Gold. This season, not only are the miners digging for gold in Alaska, but also diamonds in the jungle of Guyana. We love this stuff. The mineral exhibit at the museum was right up our ally. They even had a HUGE exhibit about the California Gold Rush with tons of nuggets the size of your fist, but I was so distracted- it was like the first time in my entire life that I didn't get a picture of something that I wanted to.
There were rows and rows of beautiful rocks and mineral deposits. I kept thinking that my mom, who is a notorious rock collector, would just love all the different colors, shapes, and sizes.
