A Day in San Francisco

When my family moved us up to California they took a day to tour San Francisco and kept saying how cold it was.  I honestly thought, how cold can it really be in the middle of summer?  But David and I decided to spend a day up there and boy was it cold!!! Good thing I brought Bella's winter hat just in case...if I didn't love her so much I would have stole it to wear myself!!!

We were advised to go to the Academy of Sciences by David's boss so that's what we did.  It was a huge museum with an aquarium, an indoor rainforest, and other exhibits.  Of course David's favorite part was the aquarium!

Here is David and Bella when we first arrived in the morning

Butterfly in the rainforest (sorry the pictures are so grainy-I keep forgetting to take the protective plastic off the lens on my iPhone-waiting on that free case to come in!!!)

After the Academy of Sciences we took a walk through a nearby botanical garden.  There were a lot of little trails and all kinds of neat plants including this chilean something or other with ginormous leaves!!
There was a little pond in the center of the gardens with dozens of geese who were quite personable.  Don't worry, daddy would have drop-kicked one if it got too close to his baby!
Overall, a great day.  One more city in California checked off the list as "visited!"
