My Trip to the Grand Canyon

In my last blog, I told you that my husband, Mom and I took the train to the Grand Canyon.  If you haven't seen that post, click here. Because of the time of year, we only went to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.  We were able to spend a couple of hours touring.  There are fantastic views.  I have balance problems, so I did not get anywhere near close to the edge.  My husband did, so some of the pictures were taken by him.  The Grand Canyon is full of color.  Our pictures probably do not do it justice.

My Mom and I safely standing back from the edge.

My hubby, Leroy,  decides to stand right on the edge.  Oh my!

Buckey’s Cabin is the only remaining building from the early pioneer settlement era of the Grand Canyon Village. 
Built in 1895 by William Owen “Buckey” O’Neill.

The adobe-style house is a store where you can buy items made by local artisans. 
I scored a pair of earrings there.

There are places to get something to eat and other establishments where you can buy souvenirs.

Can you see the folks on the right upper side of the photo below? That gives you some idea of how BIG this canyon really is.

The Grand Canyon is breathtaking and spectacular. I would suggest you visit there sometime.  One can spend countless hours there and even in good enough weather take a donkey ride down into the canyon.  There are rides to take you to different spots along the canyon ridge, we did not have time for that. 

Have you visited this magnificent place?  If so, we would love to hear your experience and maybe even a picture or two.

If you enjoyed reading this post, we would encourage you to comment and share it with a friend.

Until next time,

Trip to Kentucky Part II - The Creation Museum

After spending a day at the Ark Encounter, the next day my husband and I spent a day at The Creation Museum.  We had been there years ago but thought while we were in the neighborhood we would visit it again.  It is well worth a visit.  There is a deal on the tickets if you buy tickets to both venues together. ~ Ark and Creation Museum Combo

The Creation Museum

It opened May 28, 2007, and is located in Petersburg, Kentucky, just 40 miles from the Ark Encounter. This building is 75,000 square feet.  Lots of walking involved.  A good way to get those steps in.   It has beautiful grounds with lots of flowers, bridges, and statues.

There are other activities as well such as zip-lining, an obstacle course, and a small zoo. There is something for all ages to see and do.  Of course, some of the activities have additional costs.

Inside the museum, there is plenty to see as well.  Make sure you visit the Planetarium with no additional costs.  There is an abundance of dragon exhibits for those who love them and some of them even move.  The 4D special effects theater was pretty cool.   Of course, you can learn all about how God made this great creation.

Food is available to purchase with places to sit and eat inside and out. Just outside the building, you will find a large pond with plenty of fish.

It was a fun and enjoyable day.  I hope you get to go someday.

Have you been to the Creation Museum? We would love to hear about your experience.

Stay tuned for more posts on our trip coming up in the next couple of weeks!! 

 

Stay safe and healthy,

Trip to Kentucky Part 1 - Ark Encounter

Recently my husband and I went to Kentucky.  Why Kentucky you may ask?  I would ask too.  There are several places to visit in Kentucky.  The first stop we made was in Williamstown, Kentucky.  There you will find The Ark Encounter.  It is a model of Noah’s ark and it is massive.  I guess it had to be in order for all those animals to fit inside.

Ark Encounter

 

It opened on July 7, 2016.  We have been wanting to visit ever since.  Now that attractions are starting to open, I thought it would be a good time to go.  And sure enough, it was the perfect time to go.  It was not crowded at all.  

This ark is a sight to behold.  It is massive.  You really cannot fathom how big until you are there in person.  As you can tell the landscaping is awesome throughout the exhibit. Just take a look at some of the landscaping art I saw.

There is an abundance of beautiful flowers.  Inside the ark is built for easy access with ramps as you go through the several levels of the ark. There are also elevators, wheelchairs, and motorized chairs. The inside is full of cages with faux animals.  It is set up as to how the creators think it may have been.  I found it fascinating.  

There is a small zoo there with live animals as well.  There is zip-lining available for a fee. There is a 3D Theatre called Truth Traveler you can try (for an extra fee) which my husband and I did and a place where speakers and singers perform (we did not pay extra for that). 

There is food available to purchase and places to sit and eat.

All in all, it was a great day.  And yes it was an ALL day event.  

There were people of all ages enjoying the venue.  I took lots of pictures, but I do not want to spoil your trip.  I hope you can visit sometime soon.

Stay tuned for more posts on our trip coming up in the next several weeks!! We would love to hear from you and if you had the pleasure of visiting the Ark Encounter.

 

Stay safe and healthy,
