Some More California

I have SO many pictures and stories from our trip, I'll just have to post them slowly over the new few days (weeks?) as we unpack and recover! I do have to say that coming home on a Friday and doing all of our laundry before leaving California was a GREAT idea!

Here are some pictures from San Francisco, where we spent the second week of our trip. The weather was uncharacteristically GORGEOUS, and we had so much fun!

We went to the California Academy of Sciences, which was amazing.

Davis was an archeologist for 15 years before settling down with me ;) so it was neat to see him explaining things to the girls

Sophia really got into all the exhibits and took her own pictures

And there was a neat play area, which allowed the kids to just burn off some energy

Amelia and I got a little treat in the cafe while Davis and Sophia went to the planetarium show. Sophia is obsessed with space and LOVED it.



(sorry these pictures aren't that great - I wasn't using a flash in the museum)

We even paid for the cheesy picture they took of us before we went in

If you're in the Bay Area, I really recommend going (but on an off day, and preferably an off season - even on a Tuesday morning it was CROWDED!)

On Thursday my mom and I took Sophia to SFMoMa, which was also amazing. Sophia loves art and I have wanted to nurture this in her since she first started showing her talents (at like 18 months old!)



She got so much out of it - at dinner that night she was still talking about specific paintings.

There was a great Georgia O'Keeffe exhibit, which she loved. There was a Richard Avedon exhibit that I loved. It was just a great trip.

Amelia stayed behind at the apartment with Daddy, just lounging and enjoying the view

Look at the beautiful moon over the bay *sigh*
