NEWPORT AQUARIUM & CREATION MUSEUM

I know I am way behind updating my blog, but I am here now and attempting to catch up.

Back in May (I KNOW!) we took the kids on a mini family vacation to the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area. Our main reason for going was to visit the Creation Museum and we decided that since we would be so close we would also stop at the Newport Aquarium. Turns out the kids thought the Aquarium was the main attraction and the Creation Museum was the bonus stop.

We visited the Newport Aquarium the first day and Jordan and Carson absolutely loved it! They were totally into seeing all the animals and Jordan was brave enough to pet a shark. Corinne liked seeing the animals and refused to take a nap, but all in all it was a success.

The next day we visited the Creation Museum, which in our mind was the main attraction and real purpose of the trip. The kids loved exploring the grounds and seeing the OT Bible scenes, but most of the exhibit features and information were over their heads. The grounds of the museum are totally gorgeous and the kids had a great time walking the paths, going over the bridges, and seeing the dinosaur statues. We plan to make a second visit to the Creation Museum when the kids are significantly older.
