Memories!

So, I was watching a National Geographic special on sea monsters with my son today.

(YET AGAIN, FOLKS, YET AGAIN. Yes, I do in fact have a 3 year old who watches National Geographic documentaries. He loves them. Kid is BEAST.)


Here is a picture of him READING AN ENCYCLOPEDIA. Yes. I'm serious.


BEASTLINESS IN ACTION.

And this particular film reminded me of the time when I was a kid, say around 10/11 years old, I wanted to be an archaeologist, or a paleontologist, FOR REAL. It was absolutely my dream. I read books upon books on fossils and ruins, knowing that one day I would be that girl covered in dirt or grime, in the desert or rain forest, discovering some amazing link in history. I was a nerd, and I was planning on being a seriously famous nerd. I outgrew that obsession  right around the same time I sprouted breasts overnight and discovered boys. BUT I have sooooooo many places in the world I want to see due to this part of my life.


Angkor. Beautiful and mysteriously amazing. I must experience this place one day.

I seriously want to just pack up and travel the world. I mean, really though, who doesn't?








The pyramids of Giza. Stereotypical? I care not!



Obviously these are only two teeny tiny examples, seeing as how the entire countries of France and Ireland aren't on here, neither is London, or Japan, or.... well, you get the picture, but I'm definitely not in the mood to search out and post a gazillion photos..... So you'll just have to deal with these two and use your imagination for the rest... **imagining...imagining...imagining** Le sigh. (I know right! Beautiful aren't they?)

Where do you want to go? See? Experience? AND how do paleontologists know what color a dolichorhynchops was? Just wondering if anybody knows...
