The Domes

Last week I decided to try something different with Timmy.  I decided to take him to the Domes, instead of down to the museum.  The Domes are also free on Monday, so it seemed like a decent idea to see if he liked it at all.  Yeah, I didn't need to worry about if he liked it, so much as getting him to leave.  Funny how that works out sometimes.  =)

The Domes, or the Mitchell Park Conservatory as it is actually titled, consists of 3 separate domes that house different plants and sometimes birds as well.  There is the Desert Dome, the Tropical Dome, and the Special Exhibit Dome.  The Special Exhibit Dome is exactly like it sounds, it changes throughout the year and showcases different plants and special exhibits.

Timmy really enjoyed the Tropical Dome and probably would have been content to stay there the entire time.  Of course the Tropical Dome had:
A nice smiling face shot of my little boy!
A pretty orchid (I think...)
Why so serious, Timmy?  Aren't you having a good time?
Walking in the Desert Dome, which was remarkably cooler than the Tropical Dome.  It's the humidity, I know.
