Titanic

This morning we went to see the Titanic exhibit in Denver. It was pretty awesome!! Before we began our tour, the staff at the museum presented us with "boarding passes." On these passes were the names of real Titanic passengers, the class they sailed, what room they were in, a little bit about their personal history, how old they were, and etc. So in a sense, we got to be a real passenger as well as learn about the person on our boarding pass. Parts of the exhibit showcased different people's belongings and stories, and at the end of the exhibit we got to find out whether "we" survived or not. Jen, Greg, and Mom Kelly all survived. Dad Kelly and Brian did not. After the exhibit, we had a little bit of time to kill before we went to our IMAX movie, so we went and looked at the mummy exhibit and the health and life exhibit. Brian, of course, ran off to the plant and animal exhibit.

The IMAX movie was called "Ghosts of the Abyss." The movie took you down 2.5 miles to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean to show you what the Titanic looks like now, and created an image to show you what it looked like back then. It was SO neat!! We have never done or seen anything like this before!! (We would have taken some pictures inside, but they didn't allow that)

The weather in Denver was so cold today that you could see your breath when you were outside. (We got hailed on on the way home too) But the trees were changing from green to beautiful red, orange, and yellow, so at least something can be said of the chilly Fall weather!!
