Titanic 100 Year Anniversary

I had a wonderful time over the weekend. I went to a Titanic exhibit with my oldest son, my sister-in-law, and one of my nieces. Unfortunately, they wouldn't let me take pictures inside of the exhibit, but it was still a memorable experience.

My oldest son has read every book he can find on Titanic and the sister ships as well and is very educated on the events that took place and the people involved. He took this interest on his own, along with other past events and seems to really be into History. So, you could imagine my excitement when I found that an exhibit was coming to Michigan!

The layout was very cool. At one point we went down a hallway that was a replica of the hallways to go to the passenger cabins. It was as if we were on the actual Titanic. They also had sound effects of water and creaking from when the ship was hit and sinking, and we even passed through replicas of the water-tight doors. The best part of it all, at least I think so, was the replica of the grand staircase where you could get your picture taken.

It is a day that I will treasure dearly. Spending that time bonding with my son over something he has so much interest in is very rewarding. He's still young, so as he gets older he may not remember too much about going. Only that his Mommy took him somewhere that meant so much to him, and that's good enough for me. :)
