Five days in Grant County, Kentucky where faith, patriotism, and history come together. The Ark Encounter, the Creation Museum, and the Veterans Tribute Weekend.
This one is different from our usual trips, and that is exactly the point. Five days where faith, patriotism, and history come together, with time built in to sit with all three.
You will see two of America's most inspiring attractions. The Ark Encounter is a life-size Noah's Ark built to the dimensions described in Genesis, and photographs do not prepare you for standing in front of it. The Creation Museum brings the Bible to life across exhibits, gardens, and a planetarium.
Woven through it is the A Nation Remembers Veterans Tribute Weekend. A remembrance ceremony, the Field of Honor with a thousand American flags, a replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall, the Welcome Home Veterans Parade, a candlelight memorial service, and patriotic music.
This trip is open to everyone. Bring your hubby, your dad, your brother, your family, or your friends. It is a good deal richer when you share it.
A life-size Noah's Ark built to biblical dimensions, with three decks of exhibits inside. It is the kind of thing you walk up to and go quiet for a second.
Walk-through exhibits, botanical gardens, and a planetarium. Plenty of benches and shade, and easy to take at your own pace.

Not at all. This is more than a veterans event. It is an inspiring getaway centered on the Ark Encounter, the Creation Museum, faith, patriotism, and celebrating the freedoms we all enjoy.
Moderate, and much of it is your call. The Ark and the Creation Museum are both large but well paved with plenty of seating, and shuttles run at both sites.
Soon. This departure is still being finalized. Send me a note or call me at 931-801-9900 and you will hear the moment pricing and the full itinerary are set.
Not a thing. Asking for information is just asking. No deposit, no obligation, and it helps me size the trip.
No, but sharing brings the cost down. I am glad to match you with a roommate from the group.
I recommend it on every trip, and I recommend buying it at deposit rather than waiting. The pre-existing condition waiver window closes early, and once it does I cannot reopen it.
