Day 1 (Breakfast)

​

AAD Breakfast 'n GO!

Morning motorcoach departure from Elkins, WV (9:00am) (additional pick-up locations are possible) to begin a wonderful two-day tour that offers a fascinating glimpse into historical and current world events of the Bible. As we depart, enjoy a tasty breakfast sandwich and water/juice courtesy of our partners Great Harvest Bakery Company. Snacks will be available on board the motorcoach throughout the day as travel takes you west to Covington, Kentucky. Stops will be made throughout the day for lunch on your own (OYO) and for necessary rest and comfort breaks.  We arrive in Petersburg, Kentucky for our visit to the Creation Museum.  The 70,000 square foot self-paced “Walk thru History” museum is an alternative look into the evolutionary natural history museums. Its interpretation of the Bible provides an account of the beginning of all things. A visual presentation is based on the 7 C’s of History - Creation, Corruption, Catastrophe, Confusion, Christ, Cross and Consummation. Here, one will discover through interpretation, how science confirms biblical history. Three absolutely must-see video presentations include . . . Six Days of Creation, the Last Adam and Men in White. You’ll also want to see the Museum’s “Newest Creation” The Christ, Cross, Consummation Exhibit. This incredible exhibit depicts scenes of the nativity, Jesus walking on the water, Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead and the angel rolling back the stone from Jesus’ empty tomb. Outside, take advantage of the walking paths to enjoy the beautiful Botanical Gardens as well as the Petting Zoo, which features many animals relevant to the bible.  An early evening arrival is planned for a one-night stay at the Holiday Inn Express and Suites Riverfront, located near the magnificent Ohio River across from Cincinnati. After freshening up at the hotel, the remainder of the evening is free to enjoy as you like!  We recommend visiting nearby MainStrasse Village, a National Historic District and 19th century German neighborhood featuring unique shops, galleries, pubs, live music and excellent dining choices.  Enjoy dinner on your own (OYO).

Day 2 (Breakfast)

A continental breakfast at the hotel and check-out is followed by departure to pick up our local city guide.  Our guided city tour features a visit to one the top travel destinations in the United States . . . Cincinnati, OH. Commonly referred to as the “Queen City,” learn about the Garden of Eden, the many historic areas and location sites where many Hollywood movies have been filmed. (Rain Man being one of the more popular!) Stops will be made along the tour for picture taking. Visit the 17 murals on the Riverfront, a popular attraction reflecting the important history of the area.  Following our city tour, we depart for Williamson, Kentucky and the inspirational attraction… The Ark Encounter! The full-sized replica of Noah’s Ark is a massive wooden structure measuring 510 feet long, 51 feet high and 85 feet wide. It’s also the largest timber frame structure in the world, built from standing dead timber, in part by skilled Amish craftsmen. The Ark Encounter will transport you back in time to meet Noah and his seven other family members who lived aboard the Ark caring for all the animals during the flood. While onboard, visit Noah’s study, his family’s living quarters, incredible lifelike sculpted animals and exotic live animals from around the world. Your expectations will be challenged by the timeless recreations of life on board the Ark. A vast gift shop and petting zoo is also on site for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy lunch on your own at Emzara’s Kitchen, during your stay! 

 

Your return trip aboard the motorcoach takes in the beautiful scenery along the way, while you reminisce on three exceptional days of tour and travel in Kentucky and Ohio!  A stop will be made for dinner on your own (OYO) mid-evening at the Golden Corral in Lexington, Kentucky. Estimated time of return is 11:30pm.
