Took The Hubs to my absolute favorite museum in Washington DC - The National History Museum!
Dinosaurs Galore!
This is totally dorky but see the dinosaur on the right with the long tall neck and the long tail? It's called a Diplodocus and it's my absolute favorite dinosaur in the whole world AHAHAHAHA.
Why? I don't know but I've liked it ever since I was a small child and I still love them.. they just look so graceful and elegant HAHAHA :p
Whoa.
So freaky.. this female fish as a "parasitic male" attached to her!!!
Korean Wedding clothes!!
So pretty!!
Halfway through doing this post I suddenly realized this wasn't just a post about my absolute fav museum in DC ever.. but it apparently is also a homage to The Hubs bahahah! Every other photo seems to be a photo of him standing next to something.
The moment of realization when you realize YOUR sightseeing photos have become your parents photo album... and you SWORE you would never EVER let that happen. ::WAHHH:: hahahahaha
And now my favorite exhibit in this whole museum....
The Harry Winston exhibit!
The infamous and supposedly cursed Hope Diamond!
(@(*&#@($*&#(@*$&(@#*$&(@#*$&(@*&W*EUIOWUR*)(@#(*&(@*#$&(@*#
So freakin' gorgeous I die.
45+ carats!
Even the "chain" itself is dripping with diamonds.. btw.. I think each individual diamond on the "chain" is larger then the size of my engagement ring. -___- HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
The history and the many hands the Hope Diamond has passed through.. you can read all about the diamond on it's wikipedia page here.
This is so pretty too.. I love anything girly and whimsical it looks like a lace bow but made with diamonds what could be better!! hahahaha!
This diamond necklace was a "push present" French Emperor Napoleon gave his from wife the Empress Marie Louise muhahah to commemorate the birth of their first son!
The gorgeous crown was a wedding present from Napoleon to his wife!
Love love the light teal/turquoise accent stones!
Gorgeous emerald and diamond ring!
The most amazing yellow diamond set I've ever laid my eyes on!
SERIOUSLY INSANE!
The blue sapphire on the right is about the same size as a child's first!!!
*DROOL*
Amazing asscher cut diamond!
*Sigh* Obsessed with all things yellow diamonds.. and this one is just DREAMY!
A reminder that one day we must visit Easter Island to see the famous Moai!!!
MUST!!!
Definitely one for the bucket list!
I'm sure you can figure out why this is my favorite museum in DC! I mean come on Dinosaurs & Diamonds what could be better muhahahah! Definitely worth a visit if you're visiting the Washington, DC area :)!
you guys are so cute! love that you took a day to go to a museum =) that harry winston exhibit huh...i like what i'm seeing!
ReplyDeleteAwwww.. thanks for posting these pics of the museums in DC. I went to DC back in 8th grade for a school trip, and I LOOOOOVED the Natural History Museum out of all the ones in that area. Seeing your pictures of the Harry Winston exhibit brought back warm memories of me taking pictures with my film camera of the beautiful jewels (to share w/ Mama Libbeh back at home, of course, hehe)... except I had the flash on, so a majority of the pictures were either washed out or not that great, haha! Coincidentally, I was looking at those pictures again a few days ago while I was at my parents' house, so it was fun to see them in better quality! :)
ReplyDeleteAww. I haven't been outside of the country but if ever and I'd be given a chance to go there I'd definitely visit that museum. Diamonds... Gaaad! Made me sing along with Monroe's "Diamonds are a girl's bestfriend." Hahahaha!
ReplyDeleteBut I do love going to museums here in the Philippines to. :)
OMG! I watched half of a documentary about that Hope Diamond and its "curse". Looks fun! I'd die with you if I was there :)

WOW! How cool!

I really really would love to visit this museum! Fly me there quick! This is not the same one as Night at the Museum right? That one is in NYC right?
ReplyDeleteOh no pls, what dorky? Look who is the dorky one. I absolutely love the diplodocus too, along with the brontosaurus which is not defunct coz scientisit found out they were actually similar to some apatosaurus. SOBZ! How can they make brontosaurus redundant just like that?
Hahahaha a tribute to your Hubz!

The foei gras dumplings actually tasted just like meat. I couldn’t discern any liver taste. Quite a waste not to be able to taste it. Ooh… thanx for your compliments about the glasses, dear. Sexy and smart… Me likey!
In Singapore, we have 3 main telcom service providers and all of them tend to have competitive pricing much to the customers benefit. There are really many plans to choose from depending on how heavy a user you are but I reckon that it is really much more affordable in Asia.
I always wanted to visit Washington D.C. When I was a kid, most of our elementary graduation trips was to go to D.C., but when it was my year we went to Philly instead! -_-
ReplyDeleteI really want to see the Hope Diamond. I've read about its curse and it sounds so fascinating but the diamond bow necklace is more to my taste haha :p
That is so cool!!! The dinosaur exhibit looks so awesome, and the jewelry is incredible! That looks like it was an awesome trip!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and the museum looks stunning!

That's so funny. My favorite museum growing up was the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles. I always liked looking at all the animals and gigantic alien-looking fish. Also, the bow necklace is so perfect! Next you go, you should steal it for me! ;)
