Titanic


The first full day we spent in Branson, we went to the Titanic museum.


It really was neat! Besides looking cool on the outside, it was interesting to learn how it was built, what it looked like on the inside (the rooms and such), how they powered it, about the people on it, and eventually how it sank. They gave you a card on the inside with a person's name and details. You could then look for them during the exhibit as well as seeing if they survived or not. My lady and her son did, but her husband did not. Sad. :(

The neatest part in my opinion was at the end when they reconstructed (on a super small scale) the different angles the ship would have been at different times. It was crazy how hard it was to stand vertically! The other neat thing was they had a small bucket of liquid at the temperature that the ocean water would have been. It was 28 degrees, I think. It was so cold; I can't imagine my entire body being in water that cold.


Oh, and Addisen really enjoyed it too! :)
Check out how she propped her feet up while she slept.
