Fun Saturday

Yesterday a group from our church made the three-hour trek to Denver to go to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science to see an exhibit and IMAX film about the Titanic. It was really neat. The exhibit was set up with all kinds of artifiacts that have been recoverd from the wreckage, and also had "scenes" set up to show us what some areas of the ship looked like. There was a section that looked like the deck, right down to the squeaky wooden floor, and a First-class hallway and suite and a third class hall and room. It was neat to hear about the costs for the different classes, and what that would compare to in today's market. Some of the first class suites cost as much as $2500 then, which would be equal to almost $80,000 now! The only thing I was disappointed about was I couldn't take pictures in the exhibit :-( (this was the only picture I got of anything Titanic- it was outside the main exhibit in the main hallway)but here are some of the rest of the Museum. Mostly fossil skeletons hanging in the main hallways. We had a good time though. And the IMAX film was a documentary about James Cameron( made the movie Titanic) and Bill Paxton (starred in Titanic) going on an expidition to the Titanic wreckage. It was really interesting to see.

And then we went to dinner with our friends E & M, who rode up with us for the day. We saw a restaurant on Unwrapped a couple of weeks ago, and decided to try it. It was soooo neat! It's called White Fence Farm, and had down-home country food, and atmosphere, it was a very enjoyable day!

Here are E & M sitting in a buckboard seat- M & I are taking pictures of each other! :-)

And here is one of G's favorite things- a John Deere Tractor!
