Exploring the city...

It didn't rain today! YEAH!  Compared to the east, plains and the rest of the country, we are living the life; the weather life that is.  My dad likes to say we are weather wimps around here.  The rain and cold sends us into a spiral of bad driving and depression.  But today, today was wonderful.  So, like every other person on the face of the earth, I took the kids to California Academy of Sciences.

We took the bus from our temporary home.  James' first bus ride was a success.
Hey, where in the world is Nemo?
Snow, California style...
The Jellyfish, so scarrrrryyyy...
We were ready to go home...
It was wonderful, crowded beyond belief, but wonderful.  Living in the city is truly a gift.  I will be ready to go home in a few (?) months, but for now I will continue to try and embrace everything the city has to offer.  Next time, it will be less expensive.  Maybe, but probably not.

If you are lamenting my lack of posting these days, I am sorry.  I leave it to better writers than me to sum it up in beautiful prose.  Thanks to backpackingdad, I have an explanation for lack of writing other than my own laziness when it comes to this space.  He explains it much better than I ever could.

Looks liks you guys had a wonderful day. What fun! It is surely great for the kids to have access to all the city offers and for you to help them take advantage of it all. A bus ride is no small adventure. Everyone
looks thrilled with the sights and sounds. And, it was sunny! Great day.
