Plan B was to check for camps with a cabin. Found one in Crittenden KY -- 28 miles south of the Cinci bridge. It's a former KOA camp, now run by Good Sam.
I drove straight to IKEA on Friday morning getting there around noon. Spent three lovely hours looking around - shopping and eating lunch in the cafeteria!
I checked out just before the heavy thunderstorms hit the Cinci area.... 3:30.... SO....
not only was i fighting rush hour traffic to get across the river, but the pouring rain as well!
Not one bit fun. I finally made it to the camp in one piece after stopping for a fan, hot pot, and a fast food salad for supper.
*Sat. night - jim's talking with mom*The park itself was well-kept and friendly, but it was situated between I-75 and US 25 which was right next to the rail road track! We could hear the hum of trucks from both sides and the train whistle about 7 times a day (and some at night!) . Not the quiet peaceful place i had envisioned.
Had a nice relaxing evening at the cabin and met Jim and the gang from Grace the next morning... after a fashion.
I called Janet Jackson (our leader) to make sure i had the right exit for the "Creation Museum" and she said there was a detour. I took a wrong turn and went one exit too far, but finally found them.... still waiting their turn to get in... It was a HOT day and the AC felt nice once inside!
The Creation Museum is a HUGE place. The displays were all top quality. I felt the "in your face" attitude of the message was a bit over the top, but over all it was a good presentation of the
argument for the reality that God created our magnificent planet and us as well.
*Adam and Carol in the gardenThe museum had a lovely garden across a creek- very lush and colorful - complete with misters in the 'swampy' area. We walked over the floating bridge and enjoyed some of the flowers, plants and dinosaurs - oh my!
*Jim had pond and waterfall envy*
Sunday trip home ... to be continued...
