-insert SpongeBob reference here, which is odd because I just saw "The Best Day Ever" today at like 7:00 in the morniiiiing-
So, today, I got to see my dad {and younger half-brother}, which is nice because I didn't see him at all last month. But I digress.
At first, we intended to just go to the theater and see Igor or something and then have dinner, the usual. But my mom told me that they were opening a Titanic exhibit at the Milwaukee Public Museum soon {I live somewhat nearby-ish to Milwaukee. Because Wisconsin is clearly the best state ever.}, so I checked out the museum's website. Turns out; it opened yesterday. So I called my dad and he got tickets for the exhibit. I've always been a Titanic fan. Maybe because the ship launched on my birthday? O:
On the way there, my dad popped in this awesome CD that had the music from those Weebl cartoon things, you know, Magical Trevor, Kenya, that Badger thing, along with various other songs from things I don't know about. He also entertained my half-brother and I with his crazy nonsensical stories about his weird little characters; he made a new one named UnderWear ArbyPants, who I have the strange desire to make an alt out of. But, anyways, it was hilarious. I was laughing nearly the entire way there.
When we got there, it was only around 2:00, and our tickets were for the 2:30 opening. So, we got some snacks. But my bag of cookies got stuck in the vending machine, but my dad somehow managed to get them out. They were good~
Then we went to the exhibit. Before you go in, they give you these boarding passes, and the people on there are people who were really on the actual ship. Here's mine;
| Ticket # Unknown wrote: | Passenger Ticket per Steamship: R.M.S. Titanic
Sailing From: Southampton
Date: 10/April {lol b-day} 1912
Passenger Name: Rothes, The Countess of, (Lucy Noel Martha Dyer-Edwards) {ooh, fancy}
Age: 27
From Kensington, England
Accompanied By: Gladys Cherry (cousin) and Roberta Maioni (maid)
Class: 1st {yay more fancy}
Cabin # B-77
Traveling To: Florida
Reason: Traveling to Florida to meet her husband, the 19th Earl of Rothes, who wanted her to see the land he was planning to purchase for a citrus orchard.
_____________________________________________________
Passenger Fact: Having married on April 19th, 1900, at the age of 16 {O:}, Noel planned to celebrate her twelfth anniversary with her husband while in the United States. |
My dad and half-brother also got 1st Class people. I wish I had first class monies~ :(
Anyways, the exhibit was pure awesome. It was also really creepy...some of the artifacts {which were really from the ship} were all old, moldy, and beat up...but some things looked as if they were brand new. Some things even had things like liquid {champagne bottle} or powder {makeup container} that was STILL in them after 72 years. There was also this giant iceberg which you could poke to your heart's content, along with amazing videos and quotes all over the walls. We were in there for over an hour.
At the end, they had a list of the people who lived and died. My person {along with her cousin and maid} lived, so did my dad's person {I never got his name}. But my half-brother's died. I forgot his person too. [/memoryloss]
We went to the gift shop, and my half-brother got this necklace with coal from the ship on it {it was shaped like a dolphin, which is why he got it; he loves marine animals, especially dolphins}. I wanted one too, but they were $15, and I didn't want to ask my dad to buy it for me. Although, I totally should have because they were awesome, but I settled for a $4.99 shiny keychain. We wandered around the museum for a while longer {and named everything Jeffery}, my dad made various comments about the exhibits that made the long walk much funnier.
Then we went to Denny's for dinner {I ATE A LOT OF FRIES AND THEY WERE GOOD}, and we stopped by Dunkin' Donuts and got a ridiculous number of donuts. Or doughnuts. Or, was it the bagel? We drove over to the airport and opened the trunk {which was the awesome kind of trunk in which you can open it, move seats, and then sit on and stuff}, then we watched the airplanes go by while eating nearly all of the donuts. {God, they were good.} Of course, my dad continued to keep us entertained with his strange stories.
By the time we started actually going back to my house; it was seven. I was wiped out, so I spent the hour-trip home taking a nap. I was sad that it was over, but hey, that's life. I told my mom and step-dad about my day, took some medicine for the throbbing headache I had received from loud radios, excitement, and ~5476 {NO, NOT REALLY, BUT 5476 IS A COOL NUMBER} donuts/doughnuts, and then I got on digibutter.
Basically; today was the best day I've had in a really long time. I always love seeing my dad, because we always to cool stuff. :D
Also, that was the longest wall o' text I've written in a while. Today was awfully eventful, though.
TL; DR = stuff |

Wall o' text indeed. And why does everyone have a good day when I have a bad one?! Also, was that song repeating Badger Badger? If so, then I envy you. |

You are so lucky. I love the titanic too (probably because it sank near my birthday?). I went to a Titanic exhibit like that in Oklahoma City once. *Does research* Actually, it was the same exhibit...... Cool!
Yeah, I got a third-class girl who died D: But the artifacts were cool. I remember this toilet...... Yeah, I dun know why... Indeed the iceberg was fun to poke :3 My friends adn I tried to see who could keep their hand on it the longest..... The audio tour was neat.... And I believe I got the same keychain as you....
This one right?
I'm phychic, no?
Anyway, you're dad sounds insanely epic. Where the heck did he get a hold of a CD like that?

I just figured it out.
I traveled into the future, stole your shiny keychain, and traveled back to show you. Paradox? |
