California Academy Of Sciences reopening

The california academy of sciences is reopening on September 27th, 2008. However, Yolanda and i will get to go there before it opens to the public because we became charter members this morning!

I went to the website awhile ago to see if there was any way to get into any sort of black tie reopening gala, but the only thing i found was that if you were a charter member, then you would be invited to a visit to the academy before it reopened to the public. I called this morning to find out what they meant, and they told me that if you become a charter member (which is automatic at any membership level until the end of the month of march) you will get an invititation to go to the academy before the grand opening. Totally great! This is a date yolanda and I made over 3 years ago. I didn't think i we'd be able to do it! It's also perfect timing, since it will be in august or september, and school here doesn't start again until september 29th or something. The New DeYoung is a lot of fun too, and right across the park. I'll enjoy going there again.


watch a sneak preview of the tour here. They still have the creepy taxidermy and the alligator pit! And so much more!
