Big Bus Tour and Natural Science Museum

So yesterday we took the Big Bus tour of Philadelphia and we're glad we did! We learned some very interesting things, and I will admit, it was nice to be sitting down! We also went to the Natural Science Museum, which had some cool dinosaur bone stuff. It was a pretty laid back day. Something interesting that happened though: We were done looking through the museum and went to our stop to wait for the bus, which was right in front of the Four Seasons hotel. All of a sudden this fancy bus pulls up (not ours) and parks outside the hotel, and  we weren't really paying attention until we realized all the guys walking out of it were very tall, and all wearing Utah Jazz gear.....it was the Jazz!!! Sooo random and so funny! We didn't even know they were in town! Anyway, we thought it was cool. Here are some pics:

This picture is very dark, unfortunately, but that's Justin and Haddy standing next to a T-rex!

Haddy and I at the back of the bus. Since it was a nice day everyone wanted to ride on top, which means we pretty much had the whole lower level to ourselves!
Here is a large creepy dinosaur head.

This is the bus the Jazz came out of! Unfortunately by the time I got my camera out all the team members had already gone inside...
That's it! Not many pictures. OH well. Today we are having a day at home to plan and figure out our move next month (btw we're moving back to Utah the end of April....we will miss Philly but are excited to be back around family!).
