Spring Break

Brownies with their paintings

Last week my kids were on Spring Break.  As a stay at home mom, I am happy that they are back in school XD

We started off the week with Girl Scouts.  My daughter's Brownie Troop is working on the Painting badge and we went to Snickerdoodle Art on Monday.  The girls painted a llama, which is the cookie mascot for this year.  They had a great time painting and hanging out.

Wednesday morning we left early for the Creation Museum.  It is 3.5 hours east of us and this was our 3rd visit.  We got there right at lunch time.  We decided to explore the museum and then have a picnic lunch at the car.  Then we wandered the grounds and looked for a letterbox.  We couldn't find it and went through the museum again.

After all that walking everyone was tired and hungry.  We checked into our hotel and went out for dinner.  While we were out, I talked everyone into getting a letterbox.  It was my only one for the trip :(  I wanted to look for more but the kids wanted to go back to the pool and they won.

Ark Encounter 

Thursday we got up, had breakfast, packed up, and headed toward the Ark Encounter.  I didn't realize this, but the Ark is 45 minutes from the Creation Museum.  Good thing I grabbed a brochure at the hotel or were would have gone to the wrong place!

 The ark is huge and we had a great time checking it out.  We went through the ark, had lunch, checked out the petting zoo, the big kids did a high ropes course, and then we walked thru the ark again.  We got our money's worth.

Rockport, In

On the way home we stopped at a Cracker Barrel in La Grange, Ky.  Just out of curiosity, I looked it up on Atlas Quest to see if they had any boxes close by.  There was supposed to be one IN the parking lot of the Cracker Barrel but the previous finder marked it missing.  We looked and it was missing :(

On Saturday, I went to Rockport to look for 3 boxes.  It is about 45 minutes away.  I got to the first box and found it right away.  I left a hitchhiker.  I could not find the other two boxes.  I was really disappointed that I drove over there for one box.

When I was done looking I explored a city park that I had heard about and I planted a box in a cemetery on my way home.

So, my Spring Break boxing was a bust.  I looked for 6 boxes and found 2 :'(
