We started the morning out right, by going to the Yale Peabody Museum in New Haven. Tons of dinosaur displays, and what is unique there is mostly natural fossil bone in them. Most museums use bone replicas because they don’t break as easily and weigh a lot less.
Lots of paleontological history resides at the Peabody as well. The brontosaurus was denied as a scientific name for about two decades, then was recently reinstated. Brian for scale.
Upstairs was a display on loan from the rare books library and we saw original Audobon drawings in books three feet tall!
The rest of the day was for the wedding. We were honored to sit at the bride’s family table so were right in the thick of the action. Lots of laughing and dancing! This is me in red, the bride’s mom Sue in blue and our friend Gail between us.
