California Academy of Science

The only reason we went was that it is the only museum open on Mondays in San Francisco. And we thoroughly enjoyed it, despite the hordes of little people. It is in a Ne building that is three stories tall to accomodate a rain forest and aquariums that you can walk under.

There is a garden that covers the roof.

The building is edged by a row of photo voltaic cells that act as a porch roof and supply only 5-10% of their electricity needs. So we were happy to pay the $30 each entry fee.

Jo finally found a pair of travel pants to replace the ones he has worn for the past 10 years. And they were on sale and a bit big. He will grow into them.

While we were at REI I got a Fitbit One: the kind you clip to your clothes rather than wear on your wrist. I hope it is washing machine proof.
