Good-bye Santa Cruz, Hello San Fransisco! Today is our first day venturing into the city. Today's itinerary includes Golden Gate Park, The California Academy of Science, and the Golden Gate Bridge.
The Academy was way cooler than we expected it to be, and our expectations were pretty high. This museum has a planetarium, an aquarium, a 5 story rain forest, a living roof, and various other exhibits. We spent 6 hours there and could have spent more if they didn't kick us out at closing time.
Here is the inside rain forest. There were fish, birds, and butterflies inside. As well as animals from each of the world's rain forests.
Here's the kids in front of the aquarium. Their aquarium was amazing, we spent almost 3 hours down there.
This lady is cleaning the INSIDE of the fish tank. Weird.
These were everyone's favorite.
Emma with the largest mammal ever.
Here we are on top of the living roof. That giant mound behind me is the dome of the planetarium. We didn't stay up there very long because it was windy and cold. (Yes, to us poor Arizonans 50 degrees is COLD)
This is what Maylee and Daddy did while I took the kids to the planetarium show.
The Academy closed about this time so we had to leave (before we saw everything) and we were going to explore the park but by then we were so tired and it was so cold we decided to skip it and head straight for the bridge.
After that it was back to the KOA for food and sleep to gear up for our 2nd day in San Fransisco.
