Christmastown at the Creation Museum

Last weekend we experienced a very unique view of Christmas at the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky.  Drove down Saturday for their special presentation of the Christmas story and Christmas lights.  It was the busiest we've ever seen the museum! 

If you've not seen it, it's worth the trip.  Christmastown at the Creation Museum

The great thing about Christmastown is that it is all free!  It's an outreach sponsored by the Creation Musuem.  We also saw a dramatic presentation by Elizabeth, Mother of John.  And another one by Hyam, a temple Guard.  Dr. Jason Lisle put together a special presentation in the planetarium about the Christmas star.  Pretty awesome! 

We spent the night in Florence and got up the next day to another day of clear skies.  After some last minute Christmas shopping and goofing off.  We decided to try a new place for lunch and stopped at the Casino near Shelbyville, Indiana.  UNBELIEVABLY FANTASTIC!  Only $12.85 total for both of us including drinks and tax!  Can't beat that deal plus everything I tried was delicious.  We'll definitely go back there! 
A stop at the commissary on the east side ended our late afternoon and we headed home to our "children."  Here's some of them now!!
