San Francisco Day 2

We started day 2 off by eating breakfast at Trader Joes, and then hopping on a hop on/off tour bus to take us to The CA Academy of Science Museum. Of course we had to stop and try on these super awesome sunglasses first.

On the open top tour bus.
At the museum. I really loved it here and would recommend if you ever go to SF to go here.
The Albino Alligator. So cool, we learned a lot of fascinating facts about alligators too. Like how they can determine the sex of there babies by how deep or shallow they bury them in the sand as eggs.
The awesome roof top.
This is a tree that they thought was extinct until they found a whole forest of them in East Asia. It is a type of Redwood tree. It was Huge!!
While in San Fran. we really got to see how liberal they really are out there. This was called Carbon cafe and they were trying to get us to not eat red meat, diary, etc..to reduce our carbon footprint. I loved that they wanted me to eat less red meat (or pledge not to eat it at all) so that there weren't as many cows to fart there carbon farts!
This frog was one of my favorites. It is called a monkey frog. It just looked so darn cute.
The awesome Jelly fish. They didn't come out nearly as cool as in real life.
Jason touching all the sea life. I can't do it, I get too freaked out. Maybe someday.
Right before we crossed over the Golden Gate Bridge. I did much better crossing over this time around then when I went last April. Maybe my fear is going away!
On the bridge. Last time I was hyperventilating so to have a smile on my face is pretty good. Jason of course kept me nice and safe.
After our museum trip we headed out on the ferry for our night tour of Alcatraz. It was fun going at night and getting to see a few extras that they don't do during the day.
Poor Jason locked away!
We were in the pitch black solitary room when I took this. That's why we look so crazy. I would go nuts if I was ever put in there!
On Alcatraz overlooking the city.
What the cell looked like. Also a replica of the fake soap heads the guys who escaped made to look like they were still in there cells.
It was a fun day, and ended by taking two Tylenol, throwing up and a long night sleep, due to pushing it a little to much! I forget you just can't do as much as you want to when you are 30 weeks pregnant. Especially when you are walking up and down hills all day long. Next time we want to have a pre baby vacation we are going to a super relaxing place and just sleep and eat and hang out in the room or beach all day. Hopefully I will read this and remember that the next time around.
