Catching up here on a few things.

Our Field Trip to the Titanic Exhibition.

About a week ago, a group from our church went to the Titanic Exhibit here in Atlanta. We really didn't know if we were going to go and decided at the last minute. The one that we were waiting on was our very own LOH. Knowing that this exhibit had actual artifacts was an issue, because he had convictions that the money spent visiting would go towards other expeditions, further breaking down the ship. We have been to a few displays (which I will call, because they weren't exhibitions, because they were "fake" artifacts and not the real thing), in TN and SC at different Aquariums. He wrestled with it and decided to go because this exhibition, unlike the others, had REAL LIVE items and he knew that it would be something he needed to see.

For someone that doesn't know, my ds, fell in love with the Titanic and ship wrecks at the age of 7, and his obsession, I mean passion began. He now is 13, and had about 30 Titanic books on his shelf and that doesn't include the many many books that have been read and depleted from so many libraries. He has written a book with illustrations to document his passion (done on his own, not my doing) and watched countless numbers of films/documentaries(he didn't watch the Hollywood version, until many years later when it was on the TV, edited and some parts that a young man shouldn't see taken out, etc) (Robert Ballard) and what not, so this is truly
something that he is convicted about. (btw his bedroom is nautical, and he wants it to look like on of the suites on the Titanic ($)c, but we have nixed that and will try to come close to what he wants)

So we went ahead and went, with mixed emotions, but he is so glad he did. All of that information in his head, was popping like popcorn, to the point it was overwhelming, but where people from our church were asking HIM questions, lol. We weren't allowed to take pictures in side, and when I pressed them as to why, they said, because there have been "copycats" (other exhibits) that have copied their ideas, etc, and that is why and after being to those other exhibits I can see why but we got two outside of the exhibit and there is one at the top and and other group shot.
