2 States in 2 Days!

Creation Museum and Newport Aquarium here we come!  We were blessed with beautiful weather (hot but luckily the humdity had dropped) for our trip.  First stop was the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky.

We opted to go to the petting zoo first and feed the animals.  Plus we wanted to see the new addition of the zorse and the zonkey since we had last been there.
Hungry, hungry!
Hello!

Vince and the Zonkey

After a fine lunch at the Noah's Cafe several of us opted for camel rides on Gomer.  He was getting tired and had not had HIS lunch yet and was getting a little cantakerous.


  
We finally made it inside the Creation Museum to enjoy Snakes Alive.  A special presentation about snakes...did you know they are a created kind too?  Who knew?  :-)

Yep, that's us, Ty, Ann, Debbie and Vince holding a Python!
The day ended with a wonderfully inexpensive dinner at Cheddar's...our new favorite restaurant.  Too bad there aren't any around Indy anymore.

The next morning we set out for Newport Aquarium and to ride the ducks...no, not the kind that quack.
The kind you ride on land
and on water too!


Really enjoyed the Newport Aquarium.  Lots of fish and turtles to see.  If you've never been, check it out.  It's just over the river from Cincinnati.  It's a great aquarium!

Well, the day is almost done, so we drove around Cincinnati a little to see the sites and then headed back to Indy.  Another awesome weekend!
