TITANIC!


One of Steven's favorite historical events, is the Titanic disaster. He started coming home with books from the school library about Titanic a couple of months back. After reading all our little library had to offer, he talked our school Librarian into buying new books on Titanic for the library when the book fair was at school! He's such a charmer. Anyhow, we bought the Discovery Channel's documentary that Robert Ballard did, and he watches them repeatedly. I thought it would be fun to surprise him on the Monday before his surgery, and take him and his best friend Benjamin to the Titanic Experience, in Orlando. It ended up being super fun for the kids. After the 1 1/2 hour tour, we went to dinner at Texas De Brazil. Honestly, I wasn't super impressed with the food, but the boys sure were. Don't get me wrong....it was good, but for the price I could have had a Charlie's steak. I think my taste buds have just grown accustomed to Charlies. The experience was more what we paid for, and that was priceless. Watching those two with the way the meat was served was so fun. Oh, and not to mention when we ordered 4 desserts, and passed them around the table. The boys really really loved that part. I thought the Key Lime pie was out of this world. We made a big night of it. It was Steven's "last supper" before having to fast for anesthesia for his tonsillectomy and adnoidectomy. We are in for a long couple of weeks!
