Flutterby™! : Japanese Tea Garden

Charlene had some friends in from out of town who had a few free hours, so we went down to Golden Gate Park to visit the Japanese Tea Garden, which was a nice serene visit (except that the 10 year old was really wanting attention and making lots of noise to get it), and then over to the California Academy of Sciences, which I'd never been to before, but which has the "Gary Larsen Gallery" with a bunch of Far Side cartoons and annotations of the scientific principles contained therein (no, really), and a pretty cool (although we were a bit rushed) aquarium, which we will go back and investigate further. A fun day out, although between staying up late talking last night and getting up early to experience this stuff before they had to leave we're now bushed. And I used that term even before the reign of George the elder.
