Creation Museum

Yesterday morning my family climbed into the minivan and journeyed to the Creation Museum in Kentucky. The building was relatively simple on the outside like most other museums, but was surrounded by a sprawling, breathtaking garden. Upon our entrance we were greeted by a rather large skeleton of a mastedon (wooly mammoth). As I conteplated the intimidating size of the creature, I toyed with the idea of hanging a hammock between it's tusks. That would make a marvelous swing as long as you didn't fall off.
With my father and brother being uber space nerds, we watched the planetarium show exactly 30 minutes after entering the museum. The cushy seats reclined, allowing the audience to view the projected images on the curved ceiling. The chairs were so cushy, and the room was so dark, and the stars were so "awe-inspiring" that I almost fell asleep. With my hoodie and sweatpants on, I could have had quite a delightful nap.
