Our "First" Vacation

Joshua took his first Sunday off and we went on a road trip. 

We started in Dearborn, MI to visit The Henry Ford Museum. Stefani enjoyed the antique car displays. Her grandfather used to work on and restore antique Ford cars. Joshua enjoyed the plane exhibit as well as the cars. We didn't make it to Greenfield Village, but we hope to take a weekend trip to enjoy it. 

Hot Dog anyone?

The bus where Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat.

 

Stefani driving a train. 

Our next stop was Cincinnati, OH.  We visited the Creation Museum and the Cincinnati Zoo. The Creation Museum was amazing! If you visit allow a whole day to enjoy. Joshua explained it as a Christian natural history museum. The museum is the vision of Ken Ham, a founder of Answers in Genesis. The following day we went to the Cincinnati Zoo. What a great zoo! Stefani was thrilled they had manatees, her favorite animal. Joshua enjoyed the white lions. 

                                   

This is Martin Luther at the Creation Museum. We were thrilled he was featured.

These are the grounds of the Creation Museum. It was raining so we didn't get to enjoy them.

Manatee! The zoo had two very young manatees. One was two and the other was three years old. 

 

Two male white lions. They are very majestic.

Our last stop was to visit Joshua's family in the Akron, OH area. The girls had a shopping trip with lots of good deals. Joshua and Stefani were able to worship at Zion on Sunday. It is a VERY rare occasion that Joshua and Stefani attend church together. After church we a lovely lunch with the Ketelsen clan minus John. (We missed you!) We headed back "Up North" on Monday. 

We really enjoyed sight seeing and getting to spend time with family. 

God's Blessings, 

Joshua and Stefani
