Day 2

THE ARK ENCOUNTER • DINNER:

After breakfast, we travel to The Ark Encounter, a one-of-a-kind historically themed attraction. In an entertaining, educational, and immersive way, The Ark brings the Bible to life and presents a number of historical events centered on a full-size, all-wood Ark, sure to be the largest timber-frame structure in the USA. We enjoy an evening out and an included dinner before checking into our hotel. (D)

ANSWERS IN GENESIS CREATION MUSEUM • AMISH COUNTRY • AMISH DINNER:

This morning we visit the Answers in Genesis Creation Museum. The museum will proclaim to the world that the Bible is the supreme authority. You’ll journey through a visual presentation of the history of the world based on the “7 C’s of History: Creation, Corruption, Catastrophe, Confusion, Christ, Cross, and Consummation.” This afternoon we travel to the largest Amish and Mennonite settlement in the United States. We enjoy a family style “all you can eat” meal in an Amish home. Now, we check into our hotel for two nights in the Amish country. (D)

This morning we depart on our country-side tour with a local step-on guide who will explain the history and culture of the area while we travel deep into the heart of the Amish Farmlands. We visit the Amish & Mennonite Heritage Center, home of the Cyclorama Mural, Behalt. This afternoon we take time to visit the unique shops here in the Amish country, and shop at the Walnut Creek Flea Market for an assortment of products. We enjoy a delicious dinner together. This evening we take our seats for a hilarious family-friendly variety show at the Amish Country Theatre. This will be a fun-packed 2-hour comedy adventure. (D)

Day 5

WARTHER CARVINGS • HOME:

This morning we visit the shop of the world’s master carver, Ernest Warther. Using only a knife, files, and native ingenuity, he carved the history of steam locomotives and trains. He also carved an 18th century steel mill and other intricate carvings. Mrs. Warther’s button collection is also an interesting thing to see. On our way home we’ll recall the fun we’ve had, the places and sights we’ve seen and the meals we’ve enjoyed!
