Later we went to the Exploratorium and saw tons and tons of really neat science stuff . We were there all day and didn’t even get halfway through. We wanted to go back it was so fun. The building and setting were realy pretty, but the fun was all inside. We saw everything related to scince, but it was fun. There was symetry, tornados, a mirror that you can mash two people into one person, floating objects, black magnetic sand, and very pretty settings.

Day 3
Today we went to the beach. We took a trolley to get there again. We didn't have are bathing suits though so we didn't get to go into the water. That didn't stop me from going close to the it without my shoes on.... Then a big wave came up and i got soaked. The water was very cold and salty. So now I have been in both the Atlantic and the Pacific ocean. I had to walk a LONG way. Later we were walking along the side and I saw this realy cool pile of rocks. Some had seashells in them. I wanted to take them with me but I couldn't so I just took a pictures of it. We also saw a dead jellyfish on the side were we were walking so we took a picture of that too.
After the beach, we went to Golden Gate park. That was a LONG and horrible walk. I guess we were on the bad side of the park or something because there was nothing fun around us. So we tried to walk to the closest trolly pickup. That was VERY far away. We walked 3 miles!!! My brother was whining the WHOLE time!!! Then we finaly got to the trolly pickup and just went back to the hotel to go swimming in the pool.
