GEORGETOWN, KY
May 14, 2019 - May 25, 2019
When I booked us in Georgetown, it was for the sole reason of its proximity to the Ark Encounter. I was not expecting it to be such a cute town. We ate dinner one evening at a restaurant, Galvin's on Main. We were seated in the bar area where you had an open view of the sidewalk and street via a large garage door opening. It seemed to be a popular place with friendly staff. It has a huge beer selection and I think D found his perfect beer, Peanut Butter Milk Stout! It's a must try for peanut butter lovers.
There seem to be several things to do here: Toyota plant tour, Bourbon tour, and horse farm tours. Plus it's only a 10-minute drive into Lexington.
We have observed that Kentucky has some awesome water towers. Wondering if all of the water tanks are unique at this point. More as we go on this. Here are a few we have spotted along our trip.
I have figured out over the last week or so that this park is a major stopover for folks needing a spot only for a night. Each morning between the hours of 7am and 10am somewhere in the ballpark of fifty or so RV’s rollout and this place looks like a ghost town.
Well, at least for a couple of hours because around 2pm, they start rolling back in. I'm sure it feels like a never-ending cycle for those that work here. I have been totally amazed at the volume that has passed through here. Some have been on their way home up north and others, like us, have been here to visit the Ark.
Over the weekend two families with seven kids
between them were here. They were pretty loud and unfortunately one of the families was located right beside us. The kiddos were out bouncing a basketball until almost midnight on Friday. Thank goodness they must have been tired Saturday for all was quiet by 10pm. It seems they were local and had just bought their rig and were wanting to test it out.
Overall this park has been pretty quiet and is well maintained. They have lots of pull-through sites and a braying donkey in the field beyond the pond!
THE ARK ENCOUNTER
Saturday we got up early and headed out to see the Ark which was a 20-minute drive from here.
It was the hottest day of the year for Lexington so far. It got up to 91 degrees on the highway! Lucky us!
As you approach the park you can see the Ark way off in the distance and you think you are prepared for the size of it but there’s just no way. The thing is huge! No wonder they thought Noah was insane. I have to admit it is very impressive. The details on the different types and sizes of cages were not something that I have ever given much thought to so I was very impressed by how creatively designed the inside turned out to be. The living quarters, food storage, and work areas were much bigger than I had expected. Overall it is truly something to see first hand.
As a footnote, when one moves into an RV full time, you learn that space is at a premium much like the space in the ark! Our experiences thus far really helped to open our minds to the plight of the eight humans on the Ark.
CREATION MUSEUM
After finishing the tour of the ark, we headed 40 minutes further north to see the Creation Museum.
I have to admit the best part of this event for me was the gardens. It’s worth taking your time and walking it. The small swinging bridge is fun as long as you don't have D walking and bouncing in front of you. It took me several minutes to re-teach my legs how to walk on solid ground.
We had wanted to see the planetarium but the show we wanted to see didn’t start for another hour and a half so we decided to skip it.
CINCINNATI, OHIO
Since we were close to Cincinnati, we decided to drive over so we could say we been there, done that. I wanted to see the John A Roebling Suspension Bridge so we headed downtown. OMG! Don’t go downtown in Cincinnati when the Reds are playing. Driving a 9-foot wide dually in the city is tough as it is but when you mix in a few thousand baseball fans it becomes insane! Turns out the bridge is open only for foot traffic and was RIGHT NEXT to the stadium! Needless to say, we only did a drive-by of the bridge. To my surprise, Cincinnati has a lot of cool bridges that cross over the Ohio River.
