With flowers in your hair

The BEST thing about moving to NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.....being SO CLOSE to my (second) favorite city by the bay...SaN FrAnCiCsO!

We took Monday off of work- Iknow, I'm shocked as well...we BOTH took the day off, weird...
But anyway, it was the last day of spring break and we needed to do something fun.
So we took a trip to the newly renovated, and hugely hyped California Academy of Sciences.
At $25 a head, we had great expectations....which amounted to a huge let down. Well, a huge let down for James and I anyway. Harrison had a great time just being out and about with both of us and exploring a new city. We took a trip to the academy followed by the winding car ride down Lombard Street and a huge ice cream sundae at Ghiradelli Square- triple yum!

Harrison spent about 30 minutes doing this....

The Academy does have a pretty cool Coral Reef with a ton of things to look at. There's also this guy who resides at the Academy:

And yes, that guy is real! It's an albino aligator and strangely reminded me of those marshmallow rats that we got in our easter baskets in 1986- remember that Amy and Ashley? So strange...
