Yesterday my soon to be daughter-in-law commented on Flat Matt's arrival in Connecticut and that led to our afternoon adventure.  Nadya recently finished her research at Yale and is in the process of writing her thesis, thought she might be able to pull some strings.   It Worked....

Here is the front entrance to the Peabody Museum - Matt slow down, we are not going in there.  Nadya contacted Tom Hegna and he generously offered a private tour, lets go to the back door. 

Flat Matt was so excited he arrived a little early for our 3:30 appointment.   Jessica Bazeley greeted us and began showing us around. This Giant Trilobite ( Isotelus Maximus ) is one of Jessica's favorites.  She likes the big ones and suggested Matt ride the Sea Scorpion.

Once Tom arrived Flat Matt got to explore a little more. His eyes light up as the cabinet opens and he sees all the draws. He gets excited and wants to sleep with them... Whatever gets your rocks off Flat Matt!  Next he decided to just watch, Are they Morphing or Mating?

Continuing on his journey Flat Matt runs into some old friends from his Utah Exploration.  Tom realizes Flat Matt is a leg man so he pulls out a piece Matt would surely love.  Take a close look and you can see the details. Flat Matt enjoyed his special behind the scenes look at the Trilobite collection at Yale.  The up close an personal tour is much nicer than the standard exhibit.

As an added bonus for the REAL MATT.... if you find your way to the East Coast contact Thomas and he would welcome the opportunity to talk Termites... I mean Trilobites and show you around.  I'm sure he'll remember you, it is not every day a guy named Flat Matt and his entourage strolls into town.

Here is a quick recap... My First Real Estate Show!
