Day 33

Today was Aliza's day - her number one venue to visit is the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter.  It opened at 10a, we arrived at 10:02 and parked in lot 7!  Yes, it is a busy place.  We had gone through most of the museum by around 12:45p and Ken and the boys were in a different room than me and the girls when I heard, "Crystal Brothers, please report to the publications office."  (Ken never heard the page). As it turns out, they said "public safety office", and I begin to think that Ken paged me (no cell signal inside the building) or perhaps one of the boys got lost.  So, we find the public safety office and are told, "Indian Springs campground called and they are going to tow your camper."

I asked Abby to go back and find Ken and the boys in the exbit hall and I find an exit to the outdoors to get signal to call the campground.  Answering machine. Ken comes out and he calls the campground and gets a real person, we all get in the car and head back to the campground.   Ken drops me off at the office while he and the kids start prepping the camper to move.  I ask some questions and tell the owner what the CM staff told me and she explained that they just needed us to move to a different site and they were not going to tow us.  So, we moved and ate our brown bag lunches and went to Ark Encounter (40 minutes south of the Creation Museum, and 52mi south of the campground.)

The problem started because when we called the campground the night before, we only asked for one night, but we left three nights of rent in the envelope as we decided to stay there and there appeared to be several open sites.  However, the camp office is only open from 10-4, so we never actually saw anyone to verify that we could stay in that site multiple nights.  

Anyway, it all worked out in the end, we enjoyed the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter and still have a place to sleep tonight.

In the insect area of the Creation Museum, there is a display of leaf insects.  When Annie saw it, she exclaimed, "Wait!  They exist!?!?!?"  The man next to us burst into laughter and said that she had made his day.  

Tomorrow's agenda: Kings Island amusement park and meetup with Sherriann and her family.  Sherriann was one of my roommates at Grove City College.
