Academy of Sciences

A word to the wise. If you are planning a trip to the newly rebuilt and reopened Academy of Sciences, go on a weekday afternoon unless you miss crowds akin to Disneyland trips in July. This place was more crowded than fleas on a dog's back. Navigating the Steinhart aquarium with a stroller was no mean feat.
The academy showcases a beautiful rainforest exhibit, a white alligator, a marvelous aquarium and the planetarium but with the weekend crowds, it was very difficult to fully appreciate all the academy had to offer. After a morning at the academy of sciences, we walked over to a lovely little cafe called Le Velo Rouge for a delicous lunch and some live music courtesy of the Tipsy Gypsy Trio (playing the tunes of Jango Rinehart).
That's Claire gnawing on Auntie B's arm..yum yum!
