Science is fun!
Nick and I visited the California Academy of Science in SF last Friday. We do this kind of thing often – you know, learn about science.
First stop, the albino gator. About 3 dozen 2nd graders were eager to point out the albino to anyone new to the exhibit.

The butterflies were not as photogenic as the brussel sprouts.
But I eventually got an ok one.
From the rainforest, you can look down into the aquarium. Which was our next stop.
Did you notice the stroller and babies? Yeah, there was totally a tunnel underneath part of the aquarium.
There were the obligatory jellyfish against the blue background and some crazy eels and whatnot.
They have a pendulum.
And a green roof.
And also a planetarium – which is basically an IMAX screen that curves up and onto the ceiling. The movie was only medium-good, but the idea was cool.
