We got up early to go to the California Academy of Sciences.  We renewed our membership so Janie will get to go as much as she wants for the next 12 months!  Yippee!

The last time she was at the Academy, she wasn’t able to walk yet so today’s new found freedom was so delightful for her.  We spent most of the time down in the aquarium.  There was so much to see and so many places to explore on foot!
