Titanic Exhibit

Okay so if you have read my last post than you know that I went on a road trip over spring break. Well, we were heading back on Thursday; after staying in the Luxor in Las Vegas the previous night. Well, I started this wrong but, this post, obviously is about a Titanic Exhibit that we went to on our last day. Thursday morning. Well this certainly was an exciting day! We got to sleep in til nine! Can you believe it! Every other day we had been getting up at like seven, and packing up and we had to be out of the hotel at nine. So you can imagine our excitement when we could sleep for two more hours. After we had gotten up and checked out of the hotel we went to breakfast. This wasn't just any breakfast though. It was breakfast at a Las Vegas buffet. I don't know why but the buffets in Las Vegas are better than any buffet I have ever been too. Of course though the ones here in Utah suck so really isn't much of a comparison. Well I just have to say that that buffet was delicious! After the buffet we went back to the Luxor because we had found out that they were doing a really cool titanic exhibit wher there is a room that the temperature is the same as it would have been the night that the titanic crashed, and sank. We were sooo excited. When we finally got our tickets and were at the front of the line we got waved through and this lady had us stand in front of a green screen and took our picture.Then they gave us boarding passes and off we went. The super cool thing about these boarding passes was that they had the names of actual passengers that were on the titanic. So after you got the boarding pass you are told to hold on to it because at the very end of the exhibit you get to find out whether or not your passenger lived. My boarding pass was a Miss Kate Buss. She was born in England and was traveling to get married to her long time sweetheart. She had left the rest of her family behind in England. So as we are going through this exhibit we got to see artifacts that they had dug up from the remains of the Titanic. Peoples personal belongings. It was so breath taking, and they had quotes from people up on the walls, they even had the old time music. Once we got to the end there was this huge wall with a bunch of names on it and depending on where the name was told you whether or not your passenger, or you, lived or not. My twin, my mom, and I were all second class women on the ship and we lived. My step dad though, he was a third class man and he died. It was so sad. Well, this was just a brief explanation of the exhibit. I will do a more detailed post about it later, with pictures. :) See ya.
