edition.cnn.com — It is not the strongest nor the smartest species that survive, Charles Darwin once said, "but the one most responsive to change."Amid the menagerie of brightly colored and well-camouflaged creatures on display at the new California Academy of Sciences, it may be the building itself that best illustrates Darwin's assertion.

I used to frequent the old California Academy of Science museum when I was a child living in San Francisco. It still is the best museum/aquarium I've ever been too. I miss it fondly and when I tried to go back several years ago, it was closed. Now that I no longer travel to California when visiting my parents, as they have moved, I am quite depressed that I will never see this new version of my favorite childhood memory.

The museum looks super cool having seen it from the de Young museum across the street. I can't wait to take my kids. Yeah for the Bay Area!
