Happy Birthday Grandee!

Piggyback ride

This weekend Grandee and Nana Dana flew out to visit us and celebrate Grandee’s birthday. We had a great day yesterday (the actual birthday) visiting the Cal Academy museum. They just opened the new museum in Golden Gate Park and it’s a magical location.

We saw butterflies in the rain forest: face-to-face and almost able to touch one, small frogs and larger toads, fish of all shapes and sizes swimming below us, above us, and to the side of us, depending on the exhibit. And we met Claud the albino aligator who lives in the same habitat as these somewhat rock-like looking turtles.

We ended the dayhaving dinner at a Mountain View Italian restaurant and eating gelato for dessert. It was a fun day and a special treat to get to share Grandee’s birthday with him!
