We went to the Ark Encounter today. To say it was amazing is an understatement! You ride a shuttle to the actual Ark and pulling up to it gave you immediate goosebumps. To see, in person, how massive this thing was… wow!

The girls immediately cheered and told the passengers around them “Noah built that!” Then Chloe proceeded to share the Easter story about Jesus’ resurrection (Jesus Tour 2021 for the win) to a lady on the bus. I tried to stop her, but the lady was enjoying the story from her POV and motioned that it was ok.

As we made our way to the Ark (and took many photos), we walked slowly up the ramps to the actual entrance. It was fun to watch others in awe over it too… just amazing!

There’s 4 levels all filled with history, replica animals, the containers animals were kept in, all the details/structures, and explanations in between. It’s mind blowing to see all the details and engineering behind the boat, taking care of the animals, etc. It’s like the first cruise ship! -they did a phenomenal job making you feel like you were aboard the actual ARK!

We took about an hour on each level, and grabbed some Noah candy (candy in the ark-makes it more special for the girls lol) for a snack to get us through the rest of the museum.

We were pretty hungry when we were done, so we let the girls play on the playground a bit before we went to Bru Burger for dinner… it was yummy!! -or we were just starving lol.

We came back to the campground and packed everything up from outside (looks like it’s going to storm overnight… much better to pack up dry lol). Showered, and we’re ending the night with rootbeer, cheese balls, and a movie!

Tomorrow we head to Asheville
