He almost bought a boat!

TITANIC BRANSON FATHER'S DAY BASS PRO BOAT SHOW

TITANIC BRANSON FATHER'S DAY BASS PRO BOAT SHOW 
As we have done for the past 3 years, we attended Titanic Branson's Bass Pro Boat Show this past Father's Day weekend. I was excited to see the latest in party barges and fish-n-skis but never did I anticipate that we would actually be considering a purchase.

REALLY GETTIN INTO IT!
Boat ownership has been on our wish list for at least 10 years. Every time we have come close to purchasing a boat, we have managed to talk ourselves out of it for one reason or another. Well, this time was LUCKILY no different. My husband who typically likes bass boats and go fast boats, was enamored with this giant 20-something foot Party Barge. This is where I get weak!! I like Party Barges and the idea of Partying on the lake with family and friends.

BOYS UPSET BECAUSE WE DIDN'T BUY THE BOAT
I was already picturing the day - It is me, my husband, our 2 kids, and our friends who also have children. We were swimming off the large swim deck, eating chips, and drinking a cold beverage. YEP! We were happy. Well, I decided that I was keen on the idea of boat ownership and this time my husband backed down. What happened?

He said that we would save our money - a boat fund - and come back next year to take another look. This is fine with me because we always enjoy touring the museum and it is nice to take our time looking at the boats.

It is an honor that Bass Pro takes the time to set up in our parking lot each year at the Titanic Museum Attraction in Branson, Mo. and it is our privilege to honor Fathers with this special event each year. I love my dad and I love my children's dad as well. They both deserve whatever kind of boat they want for being the best role models that could be.

ME WISHING EVERY DAD A HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL DADS FROM THE CHIEF PURSER OF THE TITANIC MUSEUM ATTRACTION!
