THU, OCT 17 (Day 1) We get acquainted with our traveling companions, as we drive the Pennsylvania Turnpike, making appropriate rest and meal stops along the way. Our first stop of the day will be near Shanksville, PA, where United Airlines Flight 93 went down on September 11, 2001. After learning of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, passengers attacked the hijackers, an act widely believed to have saved lives on the ground, at a cost of their own. A new memorial on the site, a visitor’s center and a chapel have all been built for the 10th anniversary of this tragedy. Next we travel to Cincinnati, Ohio for our included light dinner and overnight. (D)
FRI, OCT 18 (Day 2) This morning, we will spend the day at the highlight attraction of our tour: the spectacular Creation Museum/Answers in Genesis in Petersburg, Kentucky. This 60,000 square foot museum is chock full of interesting exhibits! We'll take a journey through time unlike any we have ever experienced. Biblical history will come alive as God's Word—beginning in Genesis— explains the universe that we see today. Gape at the towering face of Grand Canyon along the front wall, while dinosaurs hint at catastrophe. Peer back into the deepest recesses of the heavens, and discover that the latest images of the stars confirm an all-powerful Creator, not a random bang. Retreat to the café for a delicious lunch and enjoy a spectacular view of the lake and nature trails or have a seat on the patio and breathe in the fresh air of God's good creation! We will have the day here to take in all of the many things to see and do. Next, we will enjoy a dinner buffet together. Overnight in Cincinnati, Ohio. (B, D)
SAT, OCT 19 (Day 3) Today we enjoy a leisurely drive through Ohio and West Virginia on our way to Pittsburgh, making a fast-food lunch stop along the way. This afternoon, we will cruise Pittsburgh’s three rivers aboard the Gateway Clipper. As you relax and enjoy the unparalleled view of the city, our captain will regale us with fascinating tales of the area from the past and the present. Following this delightful time together, we head toward Lancaster, enjoying a delicious dinner in Bedford, PA, en route. (B, D)
