2025 April 7-11: The Ark Encounter and Creation Museum Trip with the Club-Diamonds in the Rough (Five Day Trip) & Diamond Tours

 Day 1: Monday, April 7:

Hubby and I stopped at Jack's for breakfast. I ordered gravy and biscuits with Diet Coke. 

When we arrived at the club around 7:30, everyone went inside to sign in, pick up their name tags, and use the restroom.

Everyone was on the bus by 8:00 A.M., and we were on the road by 8:30 A.M.

We traveled north on Savannah Highway to Natchez Trace, getting off in Lawrenceburg. We traveled north on Highway 43 through Columbia, TN, to I-65, then to I-264, and finally to I-74, I-275, and US 27, before arriving at the Comfort Inn, room 226, located at 1610 Flossie Drive, Lawrenceburg, TN. 

We stopped at Love's in Bear Creek. The building was being repaired, so they had installed a bathroom outside. We had to stand in line outside in the cold, waiting to use the restroom stalls. (3) Loves was located just off I-65 on Highway 312. 

Grilled Cheeseburger and Tater Tots 

We stopped for lunch at Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers in Bowling Green, Ky. $14.92

Hubby and I split a grilled cheeseburger with tater tots and ordered a Diet Coke. 

We stopped at Thornton's gas station in Buckner for a restroom break. 

We crossed the Ohio River into Cincinnati. Dinner at Logan Roadhouse, 3720 Stone Creek Blvd. Cincinnati, Ohio.

Hubby and I ordered Grilled pork chops, a salad, creamed potatoes, rolls, and a cookie. 

We arrived at our hotel around 8:00 P.M., took a hot bath, and went to bed.

Breakfast at the hotel consisted of gravy and biscuits, accompanied by sausage links and eggs, and served with cranberry juice. 

We depart for the Ark Encounter around 8:30 A.M. and arrive at 10:09 A.M. 

The Ark Encounter 

Our step-on guide greeted us and instructed us on where to line up for the shuttle and when to meet at the end of the day.

We got off the shuttle at the Answer Center and were on our own for the rest of the day. 

Our first stop was to ride the carousel, where I rode the camel. 

Our next stop was the Virtual Reality Experience, where we traveled back in time to meet Noah. $30.74

We witnessed the construction of the Ark and experienced the flood alongside Noah.

We walked into the ark, which was terrific. It was filled with animals, Noah and his family, and the history of its construction. Several Diamond buses were present, making it difficult to see everything. 

We skipped a lot of the ark because we were getting hungry. 

We had a buffet meal at  Emzara's Kitchen, where I got chicken fingers, salad, slaw, creamed potatoes, and pineapple cake. $36.02

We visited the Ararat Ridge Zoo area, where we watched children ride camels. It was cold outside, so Hubby bought a cup of hot chocolate. $5.29 

Our last stop was the Answer Center, where we were entertained by Stage Song, a Christian group that sang gospel songs. 

We made a group picture in front of the Ark.

We stayed at the Ark until 3:35 P.M.

When we were leaving, someone said, "I don't have my phone," so we turned around and returned to the Ark. Our leader informed the park about the lost phone. It had been left in the men's restroom. Someone at the park retrieved the phone, which was brought to our bus. Dinner at Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen, 3633 Springdale Road, Cincinnati, OH, at 5:00 P.M. 

I ordered chicken fingers, French fries, coleslaw, and ice cream. It was a huge plate, and I didn't even eat half of it. 

We head back to the hotel around 6:30 P.M. 

I took a hot bath, wrote in this journal, and went to bed.

My favorites were the Cave, the Ice Age, the model train, and the town buildings. There is so much to see and little time to see it all.

2025 March 25, Cooks Museum, Delano Park Wheeler Wildlife Refuge adventure with the great grandkids (Day Trip) Ava & River

Cooks Museum 

Cooks Museum

Today we rode to Decatur to visit the Cooks Museum.

We stopped to take a few pictures outside and inside.

The first thing River saw was the very tall, scary, big brown bear, which frightened him, so we hurried past him. 

The hallway was filled with school children, so we walked past them to the next area.

River didn't like the cave or the alligator. He kept saying he wanted to see the fish. 

We visited the fish aquarium, which has a 15,000-gallon saltwater tank. Two scuba divers were cleaning the tank. We saw Moon Jellyfish, Coral, and Nemo. 

In the forest area, River and  Ava climbed inside the Big tree, and we checked out all the birds and listened to them.

They both enjoyed the "Wonderful World of Bugs," where they saw bugs of every size and shape, including butterflies and cockroaches.

We returned to"Looking UP," which he liked very much. He especially liked the big blue ball that encompassed the Earth's core. 

Earth

They both tried to pick up the meteorite, but it was too heavy for either of them to handle alone. 

They both enjoyed the Foundation area, playing in the kinetic sand, creating an erupting volcano, mountains, and a flowing river. They also wanted to touch the different rocks.

After a couple of hours at the museum, they were ready to run and play at Delano Park. 

The park was filled with children, all bursting with energy. We did not stay long because it was near lunchtime, and everyone was hungry. 

We were going to OH' Bryan's in Hartselle for lunch.

Eating Lunch 

No one wanted the same thing to eat.

We stopped at Taco Bell for some cheese rollup and Sprite for River.

We stopped at McDonald's for a cheeseburger, nuggets, and fries with Dr. Pepper for Ava. 

We stopped at OH'Bryan's for our meal. I ordered a kids' grilled chicken finger meal with sweet potato and unsweetened tea. 

Hubby ordered a Delmonico steak, accompanied by a sweet potato, and the salad bar. 

Our last stop before heading home was Wheeler Wildlife Refuge.

We walked through the museum, examining the various wild animals and birds that might be found in the park. Then we walked to one of the outside buildings with telescopes. There, the kids saw ducks, geese, and lots of turtles. 

One of the rangers stated that Alabama has the most freshwater turtles in the world. 

Wheeler Wildlife Refuge 

We began our journey home near the old Paper Mill. Hubby said one of our tires was losing air pressure. 

We watched the pressure steadily drop. Hubby said when it gets down to 8, I will have to stop and change the tire. 

We reached the Wheeler Dam with the pressure almost to 8.  

We finally arrived at the gas station, where Hubby filled the tire with air. 

We made it to Killen Tire just before they closed. They plugged the tire. The technician said we had run over a huge nail. 

Like in a good story, we ended up with our day of drama.
