Sleepy Alligator...

My very lucky Aiko brother works at the all-new California Academy of Sciences which is set to re-open in it's fancy new digs in about a month. As a kid who adored the place, and a mom whose kids did too...I can't wait to have a look-see. He told me about the arrival of the albino alligator last night, then I saw this article on S.F. Gate this morning.

Ooh, sweet. I saw that critter somewhere a few years ago. My brother just became a docent at the New Orleans Zoo. (Aiko?)

Awesome! I loved the Academy of Sciences too. We went to see Laser Floyd there one Friday night. Very, very cool. So it's not in the Park anymore?

Anne said...

yes, it's in the same spot as it was for over 100 years. it was housed temporarily downtown, while they spent the last over 2 years remodeling.

Oh awesome! I was bummed when they started kicking around the idea of moving the deYoung and Academy of Sciences out of the Park.
