YAH Purpose

The Young at Heart Ministry is for Senior Adults (those past retirement age) in the Dayton, Ohio area. We provide times of fellowship and entertainment during our monthly Luncheons. We also provide the opportunity to see interesting places and things around the area during our monthly Day Trips. Once a year (sometimes more frequently) we offer a longer trip to see areas far from Dayton. All of our programs are designed to be honoring to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Young@Heart Day Trip–November 19,2013

This month we enjoyed our “Annual Mystery Trip”. I promised everyone that we’d see something older than us and have a delicious meal! We certainly did that and I think everyone enjoyed the trip.

First, we visited the Cincinnati Museum Center to enjoy the Dinosaurs Exhibit. Generally, I prefer the Creation Museum for Dinosaurs, but found this exhibit very interesting and informative, after I learned to overlook all the mentions of “Millions of Years”. There were lots of exhibits of actual fossils and many recreations of the skeletons.

We arrived a little early to allow for a break, then began our tour at 10am. We toured the exhibits and some even had time for a coffee break until noon.

At noon, we departed from the Museum Center for Grand Finale. This is a favorite eatery for Nancy and I. They specialize to good food and the “Finale” is always outstanding!  Of course, this is one of their many famous and delicious desserts.

Interestingly, we spent as much time, maybe a little more, at the restaurant as we did at the museum. We had excellent and fun service. The only complaint is their skimpy parking. But our driver, Andrew Roberts, was able to get our bus in the lot and out again, later.  I think everyone truly enjoyed this Mystery Day Trip.

Next month, we are going to LaComedia to enjoy their Christmas Musical Extravaganza! Be sure to sign-up and join us.
