I can only take credit for a few of these pictures because once Tony got a hold of my camera I didn't see it again until after we left! Such a fun day! Can you tell?
Its hard to say what my favorite exhibit was at the California Academy of Sciences. Penguins are my favorite animal so seeing the feeding was pretty fun. The oldest couple had been together for 15 years. You could tell which penguin was with who by the color of their arm band. As we sat in the colored square on the carpet surrounded by anxious children about to pee their pants with excitement, we were debating on which penguins we would take home with us.
It had already been determined that we would hide them in Megan's purse and she would keep them at her house. Tony wanted one of the molting penguins...well, since we couldn't agree on which ones to take home with us we didn't go through with the plan after all. However, we knew our plan would have worked if we wanted it to!
The dioramas were pretty cool too. Megan had pointed out that the lighting on the lions had made them look like they were watching tv. Pretty hilarious! Check it out!
Many, many, many beautiful fish, reptiles and crustaceans! The underwater tunnel was was probably one of the places I could sit for hours...actually, I think we did sit there for a good 15-20 minutes! So relaxing.
This picture just makes me smile...Or maybe it was just something Tony had said. :o)
Spiraling up the dome was pretty fun as well. Inside is a living rain forest with the temperature warm and humid. It was quite beautiful and as you spiraled up you saw more and more free flying birds and butterflies.
Nice escape from the everyday.
Thanks for reading!
