Sunday, Day 4 in NYC

I don't know who these people are, I just took this photo from their flickr site.
We took a taxi to church. Cooool! Haha.

Megan and Daniel's ward meets in the 4th (I think) floor of the temple! Well, kind of. The temple is on a corner surrounded by tall buildings, Julliard is across the street...anyway, it was weird because in a way it blends in with its surroundings, but once you notice it, you're like, holy cow there's a temple right there, duh! When you go in the front door, there's an elevator on the right to take to church, or you go left to go to the temple. Unfortunately we didn't get to go left while I was there.

It was neat being in their ward. The days before I kept thinking, wow how do people raise families in this city? And then on Sunday, I got to see people who make it happen. It was also cool to see people of so many different nationalities (not much of that in Logan). I also got to meet Jill from Homemade by Jill, a blog I like to read. I met someone famous! Haha... it was neat seeing her new baby and talking to her. After church, I was waiting for Megan and Daniel to get out of their meeting with the bishop, and I saw Collin Willardson, a friend from BYU–I. Crazy! Sometimes the world seems so small.

After church we went to the Shake Shack (what–I was on vacation). That place was SO delicious. If you are ever in NYC and craving In-N-Out, it's pretty comparable. Except their meat tastes like butta...it's so tender. The word tender bugs me, but you know what I mean.

Then we went to the Natural History Museum (where the movie Night at the Museum with Ben Stiller was filmed). Apparently if you are a tourist and don't know anything, you get suckered into paying over $40 admission each, but if you read the fine print they will accept a donation instead. So $2 later we were in! Yay for locals.

Pretty sure Daniel had just pinched Megan before I took this.
Waiting in line, the main entrance and some dinosaurs

That place was really cool, and really huge. We only saw a little of it, but that's okay. We saw the ocean room, mostly because I wanted to see the gigantic life-size blue whale. And then we saw the dinosaur room. That was pretty neat, and there was a lady who was the "fossil expert" there, who showed us some prehistoric teeth. She was awesome.

I know it's hard to imagine how truly large this is, but that room was hUGE and the whale was just as long.
darling
This was happening in the tank on the bottom floor. Just kidding guys! It's all fake!

T-Rex wooo
I was getting a picture of this dinosaur skeleton and didn't realize I was catching a tender moment between Megan and Daniel. And that's the fossil lady holding a huge tooth next to them.
Rar
We had watched Ghostbusters a couple nights before, and most of the action happens in Sigourney Weaver's apartment building. It's all filmed in NYC, so I kept asking my "tour guides" where the building was. Daniel googled it, and we found it!
I didn't see Gozer up on top though.
