Week 3 in Miami

The fun thing we did this week was go to the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden.

Maynard and Jane, our boat neighbors, invited us and we had so much fun!

In the Butterfly House

Karen, Maynard, and Jane

 

 

This is such a beautiful place. If you are in Miami, we highly recommend it.  John said he enjoyed it more than Buchart Gardens.

 

 
This is called an Allee.

 

 

This chair was more clever than comfortable.

The butterfly house was a big surprise for us. We hadn't been in one before and it's kind of crazy. 

A morpho butterfly landed on John. The outside of its wings are brown and the inside is a beautiful delphinium blue.  This one had a torn left wing, that's why you can see the blue on the right wing.

I told John we need a pergola like this at our house. He said he'd add it to his "to do" list.
