It was magical because the husband thought of it and wanted to take me :) So it was really awesome and sweet of him.
What I was expecting
What we saw
So basically most of the butterflies were in the trees and sleeping or something, so they looked like brown clumps around the trees. Some were flying around, but not much.
We saw more butterflies at the LA Natural History Museum Butterfly Pavilion when we went a few years ago. Even though the butterfly grove was disappointing, the highlight was past the butterfly grove to the beach. We spent most of our time there at the beach, watching our dog have a blast running up and down. There were beautiful cliff views and it was a really great day. We enjoyed the beachside so much more. Had a lovely lunch picnic on the cliff overlooking the beach and ocean, and well, it was just awesome. A very lovely afternoon.
On our way back from the beach we went by the butterfly grove and found a docent there teaching and talking about the butterflies. That was much more interesting. She said a lot of the local development and pollution over the years have probably influenced and reduced the amount of butterflies that come to the area.
I hope we were just unlucky and I want to go again, just for the beach if anything. I hope we see more butterflies next time, and I hope you do too if you go. Still sorta neat.
