OOO pretty colors...

Mom and Katie and myself(not pictured) went to the Natural History Museum today. We had a fantastic tour with a fantastic tour guide- Katharine's mom-and we got to see tons of behind the scenes stuff. It was all pretty amazing.
As well as seeing tons of natural animals, we saw the above jewelry which we hope to have someday in our own jewelry boxes. This was the Hazen Diamond Necklace, a very beautiful piece of art.
This is the Hope Diamond, the most viewed diamond known to man. Every year 6 million people come to see it. This diamond is very rare because of the deep blue color. You learn some very interesting facts when you go to the National Museum of Natural History with a tourguide who knows the whole place...
