Creation Museum

  • The Creation Museum, located in Petersburg, Kentucky, United States, is a museum that promotes a pseudoscientific, young Earth creationist explanation of the origin of the universe based on a literal interpretation of the Genesis creation narrative in the Bible.
  • We had a wonderful time. Its a huge really beautiful place! I had to sit down rest a lot because problems with arthritis and really out of shape. Here are some pictures from our trip. Great for adults, teens, and kids something fun for everyone any age. The museum has beautiful botanical gardens, large petting zoo and playground, zip line, dining venues, many exhibits, free shows and alot more. 2021 prices are kids 10 years and under free admission, adults 39.95. Its pricey but was worth it to us.

Botanical Gardens

My grandson Calvary loves animals!

This was a mining sluice for rinsing of a bag of rocks to find gemstones and learn about geology.

God loves Color 

Not all tree’s are light green. Not all tree’s are dark green. They are dark, light, and everything in between. That is what God’s creation is all about 😀 He loves different color in his creation and different color of people ❤

Vallecito Lake

Beautiful breathtaking views! It is located 20 miles north-east of Durango Colorado.

In 2002 over 70,000 acres were burned near the city of Durango. Over 4,000 firefighters helped. Fourteen 18 feet tall carvings were made to help tourism to Vallecito Lake.

We stayed at Lone Wolf Cabins. A great place to enjoy a slower pace of life and get some much needed R&R!! So amazing!!

Big Spring Cabins, Van Buren, Mo.

Wow!  No TV or Internet.

 So quiet,  that we could hear the leaves fall on the ground.

The  current river was clear.

Big Spring Cabins were built in the 1930’s.  A fire place is inside, and a fire pit is outside.

We grilled dinner outside, and roasted marshmallows inside.

They have no central heat.  So glad we brought an electric heater! 🙂

Sad to say that, the cabins will be closed from 2015-2018.   For renovation safety codes.

In the fall, the colors  are changing. The water is emerald green!

The current river is feed by underground springs. The water is clear, and continually moving.  Most people canoe or raft down the river.
