Visiting the Titanic Museum

Hello again Loves,

This was another activity we did on our trip to Tennessee. This was something we planned to do before we went to Tennessee, and I am SO glad we did. This was definitely worth it! Downfall: We weren't allowed to take any photographs inside most of the museum in order to preserve the artifacts. I wish I could have taken pictures because it was so beautiful to see everything and learn about so many things. Before you go in, each person is given an identity of someone that was actually aboard the Titanic. During the tour, you can discover your person's story and if they survived the Titanic or not. It made it even more fun to go through. My favorite part of the tour was a spot where you could dip your hand into water that was the exact temperature of the water people were floating in when the Titanic sunk. OMG it was the coldest water I have ever felt in my 22 years on this Earth. Also, I understand why Jack died in the movie and why his lips were blue while he was just floating in the water (even though I learned that Rose and Jack were not actually on the Titanic...). If you ever get the chance to go to this museum, I highly suggest checking it out!

This is the only part of the tour where we could take pictures, so no I am not a rebel. This is the largest Titanic replica made of Legos that was created by an Autistic boy named Brynjar Karl Birgisson. It blew me away and I am so glad we were able to photograph it.

I was given the identity of Irene Harris. This is the first. and probably last time, I will ever be a first class passenger. Spoiler Alert: I survived the Titanic and was kind of a boss woman.

And of course, we got shirts and iron-on patches to remember it forever.

XOXO Courtney
