2019-02-16 Ark Encounter & Creation Museum

Well, it was time for a mid-Winter campout and Tom & Ella invited me to join them and their son, Caleb and his wife, Haley down at a Kentucky campground called Three Springs.

From there we would visit the nearby Ark Encounter on Friday and then on to the Creation Museum on Saturday. It was fun and very interesting and thought provoking. For example I didn't realize dinosaurs lived with humans and were on the Ark. Or that Dragons...fire bleathing and all...may have been real! Plus a lot of other interesting things.

None of us were up for cooking all weekend so all meals were eaten out including two dinners at a local Mexican restaurant called El Jalisco, which was a fantastic restaurant! Same exit off I-75 as the Ark. Right down the road from it, in fact.

There are a ton of pictures with this posting and hopfully it'll all make sense. Just so much to cover I think it gets a little overwhelming.

 

We'll start out with a few shots of the campground set up:

 The time line of history as written in the Bible. It's amazing every argument has a Biblical explanation.
