While in Kentucky we did a lot of things, so I am going to
tell you my top four. All of them happen to be
museums.
The Ark Encounter. It was a life size Noah’s Ark with a lot
of interesting history and handmade scenes of Noah, his family, and the
animals. I thought it was weird that Noah and his wife named his son Ham. The ark
was absolutely huge! It was 300 cubits (450 feet) by 50 cubits (75 feet) by 30
cubits (45 feet). 
The Creation Museum. The Creation Museum compares the
evolutionary point of view to the biblical point of view on pretty much
everything. I thought it was really cool to understand both perspectives. It helped me see why people might not believe
the Bible and the evidence to support the Bible.
The Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory. It is located in, well, Louisville. They gave
us a tour of how they make their famous Louisville slugger bat that over 8,000
professional baseball players use. They showed us how different professional
players like different bats – like the types of wood, the color, length, hollow
bottom, etc. We even got to hit a few balls in a batting cage. The guy running
the batting cage said he wants mom on his softball team. It was a great
experience. And we got a mini bat.
The Kentucky Derby Museum. We saw a wall of all the winners
of the Kentucky Derby from 1822 to 2019. I learned that the horses racing at
the Derby are all three years old. After a tour of the race track, we went
inside and played a horse race video game. I think I beat Taite so often because
I’m much lighter than him. We also placed our fake wagers on a screen, got our
ticket, and watched a horse race simulcast to see who won. 
In Kentucky we also ate KFC (I mean, we were in Kentucky),
we did an Escape Room, swam, and played pool at our hotel. Kentucky was beautiful.
I thought it was awesome that people would spend so much money, time, and
effort into sharing God and his wonderful creation to the world. Just as Solomon
said, “blessings crown the head of the righteous.” (Proverbs 10:6)
This little girl said I was her best friend.
