On Monday Max was off from school and we decided to take a trip to the Exploratorium in San Francisco. It was a gorgeous day, we have a membership, how could I resist? We arrived at the front door and lo and behold - it was CLOSED! Ack! I suppose I should have checked before we left......
As I said, the day was lovely and the Palace of Fine Arts (where the Exploratorium is located) is a great spot for a stroll and feeding the ducks and swans. Here are some pics of Max having fun :)
Max and this duck made fast friends although it may have been due to the crispy noodles that Max was snacking on.
He also found this wonderful Cypress tree to climb.
I remember playing here as an eight year old when we lived in San Francisco.
The Palace of Fine Arts, designed by Bernard Maybeck, was originally constructed for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition. They are currently doing a lot of repair and restoration work so unfortunately we were not able to play under the main dome, maybe next time.
I have not been working a lot on crafts for the past few days but plan on getting back into the saddle asap. I'm inspired to work on a new Waldorf Doll and continue to make my lavender gnomes. What next?
what an awesome trip!
ReplyDeleteSoooo beautiful, might have to visit San Francisco one day, really had no idea how beautiful it is!
ReplyDeletethis brings back wonderful memories. I love Sf!
ReplyDeleteAah, how irritating when that happens... but with us too, we seem to have an even better time when we have to do something else spontaneously. Looks like you had a wonderful day.
