After our delicious Indian feast of huge naan and biryani, my residence went to NightLife at the California Academy of Science. I remember walking around the gigantic museum as a kid and just being amazed by everything. Even though we only saw two exhibits (the rainforest and the aquarium) on Thursday, I still felt the same childhood feelings.

And not to say that I don't love children, but it was really nice just walking around the museum without kids screaming and running around. I got to take my time with my photos (I'm so proud of that iguana!) and the evening went by so quickly. I never thought that the museum at night would be so much fun (cue bad Night at the Museum jokes).

    I 100% agree with the no kids aspect of visiting the academy at night.

    Our local aquarium often hosts nighttime events and it's so fun to explore after-hours, without kids, usually wearing a cocktail dress and carrying a glass of wine! Much more enjoyable if you ask me.

    i love the academy of sciences. we've been so many times but never got to see the rain forest {it was always closed for one reason or another}. last week we tried to go see the rain forest and our friend who works there {and gets us in for free} got stuck in meetings all day, so we never got in. blerg! :) that elusive rain forest...
