California Academy of Sciences

Well, today we went to San Francisco to check out the relatively new California Academy of Sciences. Generally the day went fairly well, despite the crowds and the occasional crying baby. The award of the day goes to Paige who seemed to be so thrilled to be out of the house and seeing something new, whereas Garrett seemed to be wishing he was just home in bed. Molly on the other hand was in her element. Some of her favorite exhibits were the dinosaur skeleton, the fish, the albino alligator and the penguins.


We did bring a baby carrier with us and we all took turns hauling the chunky monkeys so they could enjoy the sights. Even Auntie Trish volunteered to help!


We also found this great play area for kids under the age of five, and Molly absolutely enjoyed herself. And I got this totally cute photo of her playing in the treehouse.


And on the way home we introduced Trish to a Californian classic - In 'n' Out Burgers! Yum yum! All in all, a tiring but fun day!

Glad you had a fun outing! When we went it was SO crowded we had difficulty getting the stroller around. When we got to the Under 5 play area, we were so thrilled! Favorite part of the day, since we could finally sit and relax a little!
