None of my field trips during the conference were at the butterfly center. I was going to stop in a couple of times, but they charge $10.

Finally, the day the conference ended, I had a whole day to myself to explore the things I hadn't gotten a chance to do. I headed straight to the butterfly center. I really enjoyed walking the trails and lingering around the gardens taking pictures of different wildlife that I saw. There were lots of birds, insects, and, of course, butterflies. I got some really great pictures, and no doubt got my $10 worth.
