"Here we are at the Creation Museum, and here's some advice for anyone planning to attend: don't come on a Saturday. We've waited in line for about an hour now...and are being told it's gonna be another half an hour or so. Although we've found out some interesting information from one of the employees: apparently three men from Hawaii traveled to the museum, wanting to open a creation museum on their homeland. We also found out that, not only have people came from as far as Hawaii, but also Ireland and Belgium...so...anyway..."
During our visit we were told that the day we came was probably the largest they've had in the Museum's short history: the capacity of the building is 4800, and the day before, Friday, around 4000 people attended. It was kind of crowded. ;)
And the weather was absolutely beautiful and calm for this time of year, with the temperature reaching only about 80 or so throughout the day. In fact, we've had a rather cool summer this year compared to most, despite all that global warming stuff everyone hears anymore. We were able to walk in their Botanical Gardens multiple times during the day, and, to our great delight, they built a hanging bridge! Or whatever you call those things. So naturally, because of our young at heart-ness, we crossed that thing many times...though I shan't say what exactly was done during those crossings. (landlubbers...beware)
Inside the museum is a different story. References to God's Word and parallels related to it permeate the scenery...for which I'm thankful considering the saturation of evolutionary ideas in today's society. They say the museum consumes 2-4 hours for a complete tour--we were there from 10:45 AM to 6-something PM, which includes activities such as bookstoring, botanical gardening, and eating. And...well, hmm, I shouldn't go on any further...
You'll just have to visit the museum to find out more. ;)
Oh, and another thing: they make a really good frozen chai down in the basement...

Needless to say, we did draw the security guard over to the bridge....

Thanks for posting the pictures, looks like awesome fun! I can't wait until our family goes down there. :)
Hold it!!! Security Guards???? I know there is a story behind that.
No fair, no fair, no fair!!!!!!
Now look what you did, Emil. :P ;)
Apparently some tourists were enjoying the bridge a little too much for the museum's comfort, so they sent out a security guard on one of them golf carts to make sure no one became too liberal with bridge swinging. ;)
Er, but we shan't delve into who they thought were the culprits... (I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING! just, um, enjoyed trying to tip our family over)
