for christmas, we headed down south to san diego to spend time with gladys and duke. that's when we first found out that gladys is expecting! yay!!! eugene and i will be uncle and aunt! :) the day after we arrived, we drove up north again, to sequoia national park for a few days of fun in the snow. it was absolutely freezing up there, but the gorgeous view made up for the cold. we went snow shoe-ing among the giant sequoias and found out that there were fleas in the snow (ew!). we also went to see the oldest tree, the general sherman. it was so relaxing up there not having to worry about school or anything else. :)
the day after christmas, eugene and i headed to the san diego wild animal park. the sun was out and blasting, but we were still pretty cold. eugene really enjoyed seeing the gorillas and i had fun pretending to be a flamingo.
recently, we made our way to the california academy of science in golden gate park. we attempted to go the first weekend it opened (it was free the first day), but we got stuck in traffic on the way there and then were informed by our friends that the way to get in was over 2 hours! so, we waited and waited for a good weekend to go and we finally made it! it was spectacular inside! the rain forest globe that we walked around was really warm, but the different types of animals and reptiles and insects we saw inside were truly amazing. here are some pictures of what we saw...we liked the spider-man frog the best! :)
