Sunday at the Museum

We have hardly been out of the house this week due to this cold, crummy weather we have been having. My 12 year old grandson and his mother came to Raleigh Sunday from Winston Salem to see one of her friends and her new baby. They also plannned to go to the museum after the visit. We decided to finally get out of the house and take a trip to Raleigh to meet our grandson and daughter and to go to Trader Joe's. We meet Eamon and Kristen at the Museum of Natural Sciences just after lunch.

 I have been to the museum a number of times over the years and have seen most of the exhibits. One exhibit I missed was the butterfly conservatory. It was very interesting and was filled with butterflies. Not only that, it was a warm tropical setting and if I need anything it is warm and tropical. I have included a few photos. 

I apologize for the photographs. It is hard to take a picture of a butterfly. They are kind of like dolphin. By the time you press the button they are gone. Anyway, if you are ever in Raleigh and have some time to kill, go to the museum. They have some interesting things there and it is all free.
