Academy of Science

I took last Friday off as part of my California Family leave (I get paid for 6 weeks, but decided to take one day every 2 weeks for the next year), so we decided to go to the "new" Academy of Science in Golden Gate Park. It was a nice but breezy day, and we walked the 3 miles to the museum. It is an amazing building, with a beautiful rain forest and an aquarium below. In the first picture, Anouk (who is crying) and I are being chased by a grizzly....


They had an albino alligator, which looked really freaky:


The rain forest had beautiful butterflies:

And the view up from the aquarium was amazing:


We checked out the penguin tank, and watched their feeding.

The view from the roof was pretty cool, with the De Young Museum in the background.

And here are some more random pictures of Anouk, most of them while sleeping (which is her most adorable condition :-) and one while being burped after feeding.
