It's really neat. And there's a giant woolly mammoth there! He's so cute! That's the one thing I always remember about the museum. He is my favorite exhibit.Suzie Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06296203324088418271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-13133601622885001702010-05-27T17:38:47.295-04:002010-05-27T17:38:47.295-04:00Susie D, I do hope you get to go to Victoria when ...Susie D, I do hope you get to go to Victoria when you get to Seattle.

It just seems stunning. Gorgeous. Something about it calls to me. <br /><br />One of these days. One of these days. <br /><br />I'm going to Savannah too, Deb!
