Academy of Sciences

Walt took Josh and our niece, Kiele, to San Francisco on Saturday to visit the California Academny of Sciences. I sent him with the camera and he got a few pretty cool shots.

A type of jelly fish that lays upside down on the bottom of the ocean so their tenicles, if that's what you call those, can catch food. I think they're the lazy jelly fish.

This pendulum knocks down all of those pegs on the floor over the coarse of the day because of the Earth's spin. It's little but in large (even larger than that link) you can spy Walt and Kiele in the pendulum.

The T-Rex skeleton is what I was most looking forward to seeing. I've never seen one in person before.

Because the Academy is such a popular spot and recently renovated, they were unable to get into the planetarium or rain forest. I look forward to going there with them again soon.
