Day 3 and 4 (2010)

Day 3: Tuesday

Today I went to the Exploratorium. It’s museum where kids can play with stuff. I liked the water tornado. It was cool. On the bottom floor I like the smelly exhibit. Me and Mom and Geoff played this game where you have to tell where the other person is lying. I said, “I have no aces.” Four times. One time you are lying. The other person has to guess which time. I had a cookie there in the cafeteria.

For lunch I was at this pretty dome called the Palace of Fine Arts. I ate my sandwich and then I climbed a tree. I climbed down because I saw a spider. And then I climbed another tree. Me and my sister climbed that one.

Then I went inside again. Then I went upstairs. On the top floor, I made a picture. It was cool because it has lots of lines over and over again and in different colors. It was made by a drawing machine – a big wooden thing. I liked it. I brang it home. And then I saw someone take apart a REAL cow’s eyeball. We got to see him open up the eye. There was gel inside that we saw. The color inside of the gel was clear. The other colors were black and one was shiny blue. The pupil is the back of your eye. And then I saw a human brain. A real one, too.

And then I went home to the Mission Dolores. I made desserts and colorful eggs. I had a fun time with Uncle Geoff. One was a world one that I made. Tabby’s had spots. It was very cool. We made movies of Tabby’s robotic toy named Ickatod. Then we went to bed in our tent. The end.

Day 4: Wednesday

Today I had breakfast at Katz Bagels. They were good. I had mine with butter, but I ordered with cinnamon butter. I had orange juice for a drink.

Then I went to a museum. It was called the California Academy of Sciences. It had all sorts of things. The first thing that I saw when I got in was a T-Rex. The T-Rex skeleton was huge.

First we went in the rain forest exhibit. One butterfly almost flew on me. And I saw two birds. They were macaws. I have a macaw feather at home, and so does my sister. I saw some ants carrying lots of leaves. I went upstairs to the top floor and there were hundreds of butterflies. They were all different colors. And they were all different sizes.

Then I went downstairs to the aquarium. I saw lots of fish. They were pretty. I got to see jellyfish. They were bright pink and glowed in the dark. They fed the fish there. I saw some snakes and bugs. I saw hundreds of plants. I saw a star thing and the roof was a globe. Not a globe that you think it would be. It went all the way around. It was not really a globe. It was kind of like an oval.

Then I had lunch. For lunch I had quesadillas and French fries and mango pudding and Clementine soda.

Then we went to the penguins. I got to see them jump in. It was pretty fun. Then I saw some fake animals. I also saw some gazelles which my sister’s name means. And then I went on the roof. The roof was grass. It was weird. Then I got a magic trick at the gift store.

And that’s the end!
