Connecticut’s Dinosaur Legacy at Greenwich’s Bruce Museum
200 million years ago, dinosaurs walked the Connecticut valley. At the start of the Jurassic era, the earth split along a seam that ran through the Connecticut valley which would create many fossils we have since unearthed. Many footprints found in the valley will be featured, as well as a number of fossils and models of a variety of prehistoric critters. Notably, the exhibit features a 12ft lifesize cast of the Postosuchus, a vicious relative of the modern crocodile that reigned over the late Triassic period (seen above). It may not be Jurassic Park, but at least the Brudge Museum is easy to get to (just a 5 min walk from the Greenwich train station). If your arms are too short to move yourself, give Seamen’s Moving a call today for the best non-tyrannosaurus movers around!

Top 10 tips before you move
- Get rid of things you don’t need- this is the perfect time to clear clutter.
- Make a list of things you need to do prior to do the move.
- Take pictures of all your rooms to remember where everything was and for memories.
- Take pictures of the new place and decide where you want everything to go.
- Set a date with Seamen’s Moving for an onsite Survey and choose the best day for your move. Call them at 203-374-3334.
- If you pack some of the things yourself, pack the boxes of the same room, label the boxes with color coded stickers and keep them together. It is better to use color stickers than only writing on the boxes, it will make your life much easier when you unpack.
- Stop buying perishable food 1 week before the move and defrost your refrigerator.
- Make plans to disconnect all hoses from dryer, washer, dishwasher and other appliances.
- Have your new home keys and make extra copies.
