Marina and I invited my brother and his girlfriend to go with us to the Museum today. It's been a while since we had been there, but we stayed with our usual routine – we started at the health exhibit. Marina breezed through many of the exhibits. When Marina found out the Super Food Heroes show was coming, she couldn't wait to do anything else. Once again, she was chosen to be Spinachiever. That made her happy.
We had lunch at the T-Rex Cafe before heading to the temporary You vs. Sue exhibit. We also saw the Sherlock Bones show. From there we went to Prehistoric Journey to see more dinosaurs. We went to the IMAX movie
DinoMax to complete our dinosaur day. On the way out, we stopped by the space exhibit. By then, Marina was very tired and the cough she's had the last few days seemed to be getting worse.
By evening, Marina was wiped out. So we had a low key New Year's Eve. We watched The Great Muppet Caper in our pjs then we watched the ball drop in Times Square on TV. Marina fell asleep quickly after that.
My grandmother passed away earlier this week. So Marina and I went to Buffalo, New York for the funeral. After three days of attending the funeral and spending time with family, we decided to go to Niagara Falls with Mike, Brian and Emily. Marina has been to Niagara Falls before, but she was only two, so she didn't remember at all. She was looking forward to seeing it again.
We bought tickets for the Maid of the Mist boat ride. Neither of us had ever been on it and we were looking forward to it. The view from the deck was spectacular and we were covered by plenty of mist. It was a trip well worth taking.
After the ride, we went to the observation deck and looked a little more. By then we were all tired and hungry. So we went out for some famous Buffalo wings.
