Field Trip: CA Academy of Sciences

We as a family enjoyed a full day visit to the California Academy of Sciences, which was completely renovated two years ago.  It was amazing.  From a lush rainforest ecosystem in a glass dome to a fully stocked aquarium, all of us were wowed by the beautiful and well-organized exhibits showing off many of the wonders of God’s creation (though, as one might expect, credit was not given where credit was due).

Here are a few photo highlights of our visit, including a photo of a rare albino American alligator and an up-close photo of a butterfly taken in the multi-level rainforest dome exhibit.

Wow! That looks amazing. I wish our local museums were better but at least they offer plenty of free days


Yes, but on this particular day, it was a bonus “homeschool day” wherein we got in for $5 each! The last time we came for free day we arrived and didn’t bother trying, as a two hour line wrapped around the block! This time, on the first week of (public) school, the place was half-empty! What a delightful bonus that was.


Awwww, seeing those pictures makes me miss home and you guys!
