Cool!

[shaolingrrl]

It's very cool. More coolness to come, because we didn't get all the way through. Plus I plan to visit the paiche and the snapping turtles every trip.

::envy:: Thanks for this post.

Some years ago one of my astronomy shows was a big hit at the Morrison Planetarium there, but I never was able to get down the coast to actually see it in production. Since then the CA Academy has been on my list of places to explore ASAP.

And that, and *that*, and THAT!

Nice to see you here again, by the way.

Believe me, it's very good to be back.

You had a show at the Morrison Planetarium? Now *that* is cool! What was it about? I have to play hooky again sometime and get up there early enough to get into a show.

It was, in fact, the only officially sanctioned "Star Trek" astronomy show, Star Trek: Orion Rendezvous.

Me too. :{) (It's just a wee longer trip.)

I'm glad you went! When we were in SF last, we didn't have time to do any of the touristy stuff. I'm planning on taking Chris back in February sometime. (My brother's having a baby then.) So I'm hoping we could squeeze some time to do the CAS!

I'll go with! I want to go back to the Monterey Bay Aquarium now, too, and I've never been to the Exploratorium. Can you believe that?

[lingtm]

Cool! I'll let you know when we're going to head over to SF and maybe we can arrange a time to go to CAS. I love the Monterey Bay Aquarium! Chris hasn't been and I think he'd really love it. He really enjoys aquariums. So we'll eventually go there too. But you should totally go to the exploratorium! I love it. You know, I've never been to the Winchester Mystery House. It's funny when you live somewhere that has tons of tourist traps. When you live there, you're like, I'll eventually go. Until you move! Then you're like, why didn't I go?

Scuttle is a good word. I feel like I've come out of the dark depths of scuttling-creature land.

There was apparently some kind of steam-punky thang going on here. I thought of you. Not that I actually went, but I did think of you. :-}

I have no idea how it went or if there will be another one next year, but here's the link:
