Wrapping up our Wild, Wonderful Wanderings (KY)


I can't believe our trip is over. It seems like a long time ago that we started planning this trip and it felt like the sun- always far off in the distance. But it turns out it wasn't- it got here quicker than I expected and then flew by. Every time I told someone about our upcoming trip, I got very strange looks or are you crazy. 3500 miles of driving with 5 kids. Then when I said we were caravaning back with Janelle and her 4- it sounded even crazier. But it all turned out super. Of course, there were some less than super moments, but already those memories are fading and just thankful to have great memories of a super trip. We left early Sunday morning and drove to Nashville, TN. I was very glad to check in and not need to leave to eat hotdogs and go swimming.


breakfast and dinner at the hotel is super!
Monday we didn't have a long drive and enjoyed a picnic lunch at a rest area before going to the Creation Museum. We did some kid swapping along the drive and the kids weren't sure whether a movie or a piece of candy was the better treat. but they all are really good travelers. Even baby C did super.  We got a great homeschool discount at the Creation Museum. Gotta love a place that tells you "thank you for homeschooling."

Our 3 Davids

Beside Noah's Ark

the botanical gardens were really pretty

the petting zoo was a lot of fun too

The kids really loved all the different bridges

We enjoyed our day at Creation Museum. It was wonderful to be somewhere which teaches about our awesome God and the things He's made. I really enjoyed the Men in White theater show. i loved the Garden of Eden and Noah's Ark displays. By the end of the day, we were glad to ready for dinner and bed. And then one last day of driving! 

Our wanderings ended but we still got to spend another day with our friends before they continued their trek. So glad our house is on their way! God planned that well! What a super trip!
