Today's adventure was exploring a little bit of Golden Gate Park. It is nowhere near the Golden Gate Bridge, FYI. It is a little like Central Park and the National Mall. It is very big with lots of trees, paths, lakes, museums and gardens. However, the museums, unlike the National Mall, are NOT free. We chose one museum for the day - the California Academy of Science.
Nathaniel really enjoyed the museum. Davis - so so.
We also walked through an arboretum and saw a fantastic fox. It was an urbanized fox and cared little if we were there or not.
The day was sunny, but windy and cold.
Not so windy that the windmill was working, I guess.
Wind coming off the ocean to the right. We tried 4 different places to get hot chocolate. Not a hot chocolate friendly park.
Japanese Garden
Amphitheater
Living roof of California Academy of Science building.
Free range Strawberry Poison Dart Frogs in the rain forest exhibit. Any kid could have picked them up and licked them. (Think about it... you probably know some kid who would.)
Blue jelly fish (never seen blue before.)

Hey Jennifer... I got your comment on my blog... I would love to connect in UT if it works out.
