Academy of Science

Sweet Elida called Saturday morning to see if I had time to visit the new Academy of Science. I'd been avoiding it for the crowds and pricey ticket, but Elida is a member, so Tesla and I could go for free - which meant we could go for however long or short we wanted without feeling obligated to see all. Membership to museums is so nice that way. We have membership to MOMA so we can visit for half an hour during lunch without thought for cost, but of course we don't go as frequently as we'd like.

It was lovely...even though Tesla clearly started needing a nap later on. We saw a live alligator up close and various very well done mounted animals. I still feel weird admiring dead animals redone to look alive...

As a member, Elida can take us Sunday mornings when it's members only for an hour. That's when we plan to wander around the Rain Forest, roof and planetarium. Next time : ) Thanks, Elida!
