California Academy of Science

So last weekend, Me, Maddie, 6 other kids and 3 more adults packed up a couple of cars and headed to San Francisco to visit the Academy of Science. Normally San Fran is windy and somewhat cold so we put on our fall type clothing and made our way to the Academy. When we got there we hiked a ways to the Academy and took in the Planetarium, the shops, face painting, looked at the reptiles and fish. About half way through the academy some of the younger kids got hungry so we left and went to the Golden Gate Park for some lunch. Each of the parents packed a few sandwiches, fruit, juices, crackers and other delicious odds and ends. We set out our big blanket underneath a tree and settled into our picnic. Like I said before San Francisco is normally a bit on the windy side and quite a bit cooler than our weather in Vacaville......Not Sunday!!! Goodness... It was HOT! By the time we parked at 9:30am it was a steamy 86 degrees with not a breeze! Remember, we were all wearing fall clothing and not one of us brought summer clothes. Needless to say we had a wonderful time taking in the sights at the Academy of Science and playing at the Golden Gate Park. Note to self.....always be prepared! This takes me back to my first trip out with Jake, I tried packing the entire house.....I think I need to find a happy medium. Hmmmmm I better write that down!

Enjoy the pics from our trip!
