Back to talking about the place we actually went, the Academy was really awesome. We got to learn a lot, see some cool animals, watch a planetarium show, and otherwise, just immerse ourselves in science and learning for the day. It was somewhat similar to the Natural History Museum that we went to in DC a couple of years ago, but just not on such a huge scale. If I had to pick a favorite part, it would probably be a tie between watching all the adorable penguins and taking pictures of the butterflies in the enclosed rain forest habitat. Cuteness vs cool pictures is really a tough decision!

Yeah, I don't know, tough decision. Anyways, if you want to see the rest, and I know you do, go here!
Then, after a drive back home to Sacramento, rest for a few hours and some sleep, we were back on the road Saturday morning to the Bay Area for a yearly family reunion on Jessica's side of the family. As usual, there were games organized to keep people entertained and we had a lasso golf tournament. I even took a break from losing in the semifinals to take a few pictures!


It was a great time, and although I didn't take many pictures, you can see the rest here!

that looks so cool there. I lived San Francisco for a few years and never went to there
What a great adventure! We never had big family reunions in my family. I have tons of cousins on my dad's side I've never met.
As always, your photos are incredible!
Good pics...but you already know that! I think all of us had a good time on Friday. It was a really cool place and your pics documented our fun.
The family reunion looks like it was fun as well.
Looking forward to our next family adventure!
Ah-Aww, that gives me a reminder of another regret of not exploring history first hand when I was hours closer. I find it ironic that I did so poorly in history classes though not terribly long after public school, I found myself wanting to know a lot more about the past.
One of the things that gives me comfort is that it is never to late to learn.
I love that picture of Cassie and penquin! Glad to see you had so much fun. Hugs, Nani
