On Friday Amanda, Stephanie, Jessica and my dad came down to Chicago and we did “take two” of going to the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. Last time we tried to go it was a holiday and we just drove around forever looking for parking before driving home. I could kick myself because I found out that the Belmont bus, which is just blocks from my house, takes to you right to the front entrance of the museum. That’s how we finally, successfully got there.

The highlight of the trip to the museum was the butterfly haven. Jessica loves butterflies, so she loved this part of the museum. Right after we got in the butterfly haven there was a presentation for kids where they released some newly hatched(?) butterflies. I think Jess liked that too. I had only been to a butterfly house once before, 3 years ago at the Bronx Zoo. It was fun to go again. At the nature museum it seemed like there were more butterflies. Literally just flying everywhere and even landing on you.
