Well, we went...

...to the Creation Museum

We Drove...

You know what? Big vans are nice for long trips even though we don't have it packed out.

Of course if you put some business in the trip you can deduct a few miles :) so we stopped by Premier Metals to say "hi" to Lamar and John.

Premier Metals in Sugarcreek OH.

Cool Office...wonder if they rent any space.
You would have no problem giving directions, just look for the big basket.

We saw!

Wow! Wonder if he ever brushes?

Can we take this home for a pet?

AHHHHHHH! IT'S ALIVE!

I couldn't get anyone to stand next to this display with their mouth open...

Their newest display!

Children in Africa tie strings to the legs of Goliath beetles similar to these and let them fly around like remote control helicopters.

We had lunch too..

We Stayed.

I really liked this shot. They are watching the colt getting breakfast.

We had fun...

Brent got the cheaper ride.

My, it was a tiring day.

Refreshed and ready to roll!

Wait, who brought him?

So what is the Creation Museum?

The Creation Museum is a museum dedicated to the research on how the Biblical account of creation, found in Genesis chapters 1-3, is scientifically viable. Often times the Biblical account is ridiculed for lacking evidence to back it up. I don't want to spoil your potential trip so I won't attempt to recount all the arguments here suffice to say that there are plenty of facts illustrated in the museum to place significant doubt in the *theory* of evolution and good backing of creation. I would definitely recommend planning a trip or watching the "Unlocking the Mysteries of Genesis" from Institute for Creation Research.

Thoughts on our trip

I found this trip to be considerably pricey for a family of 7, even though the children were free (through the end of 2014) my total ticket bill was still over $100 especially since we purchased tickets to the planetarium. I regretted not taking in Ken Ham's speech, it sounded like a good one but it was really bad timing. The speech was scheduled to last 60 minutes and the children had just been sitting for over 2 hours on our ride to the museum. We didn't get to spend time in the petting zoo because it started to rain. We discussed going on the zip lines (which looked like a lot of fun) however at $29 for the cheapest run, and so I decided that we had spent enough already.

If you can afford to spend 2 days on site that would be perfect. The tickets are good for 2 consecutive days so if you have the time and money, that's the best way to go. I want to go back when the ark encounter is finished.

Were you there? What was your favorite part?
