Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

Snow in San Francisco? Yes! Well sort of.

The Cal Academy of Sciences (San Francisco's science museum) ran a special holiday exhibit for the second year called, ’Tis the Season for Science.

Indoor snow flurries occur twice an hour to Christmas music and there's a mini-planetarium (inside a huge snowman) that plays a short movie on the science of snow and snowflakes. You can view taxidermy specimens of the real birds mentioned in “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” including swans, geese, colly birds, hens, doves, and a partridge in a pear tree. And there are even two reindeer outside to visit.

There is also this cool outdoor sculpture that's sort of like a wooden cone with a movie playing in the center. Jack and I laid down in there for a while. There were few people visiting because it was New Year's day and the weather was sunny and mild so it was fun to have nearly free reign of the museum.
