(5) Talk about Romantic! Surprise your spouse with a VOW RENEWAL on the $1 Million Titanic Museum Attraction Grand Staircase. There are several packages to choose from ranging in price from $175 - $300. 

(6) Take your amazing wife shopping at the Tanger Outlet Mall. Every woman likes to shop and you could surprise her with a shopping spree. She will think your gesture is very romantic if you pick out a pretty dress for her to wear and then take her to dinner in it. 

(7) Dinner is always a great option for Valentine's Weekend. There are MANY options in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge/ Sevierville area to choose from. Here is a great list of restaurants in the area. http://www.mypigeonforge.com/where-to-eat/

(8) Why not take a tour of the #1 Aquarium in the US according Tripadvisor. Ripley's Aquarium is located in Gatlinburg, Tn. You can walk through the Shark Tunnel where you are surrounded by Sharks and other sea life.

(9) Sit in a hot tub at your favorite cabin rental company. We have so many favorite cabin rental companies that we just can't choose. You can google "Cabins in Pigeon Forge" and choose for yourself!

(10) Take a hike. The Great Smoky Mountains are absolutely breathtaking! There are hikes available to waterfalls. Hopefully the weather will be warm enough to get out and enjoy God's country. Here is a directory of trails by location. http://www.hikinginthesmokys.com/location.htm

These are my picks. What do you have planned? What memories will you create with your loved ones this Valentine's Weekend 2014?

Signing off....

When the Music Stopped....the Legend Began.

It is my honor and privilege to announce that our 2014 New Titanic Branson Musician Gallery is NOW OPEN. Last night, our amazing crew invited all Titanic Museum Attraction employees to the unveiling of this special exhibit.

When we arrived, these special crew members were lined up in the most beautiful room you have ever seen. They greeted us with a nod and began a rehearsed performance as they shared with each of us, the stories of the 8 Heroic Musicians who played on the RMS Titanic. You see, these 8 young men were heroes. Not only were they WORLD class musicians, but they were brave "soldiers" who put others before themselves. It's a rare quality that can't go unnoticed.

As Titanic met its fate, these 8 men gathered up their instruments and met on the deck to play music that would help ease the minds and hearts of the passengers who scurried about the decks looking for a Savior, or some sign of rescue. However, several of these Heroes would NEVER return home nor would anyone speak of their heroism again.....until now. Discover the rest of the story at the Titanic Museum Attraction in Branson, Mo. 

How do we pay respect to those who have lost their lives? By simply telling their stories, which is what we do each and every day at the Titanic Museum Attractions.

Love and Peace be with you ALWAYS,

Chief Purser

A New Year. Reflecting on Change.

As we enter the New Year 2014, I have GREAT Expectations and I think you do too. My hope is that this year tops them all; and I'm sure I'm no different than everyone else. We tend to use this time to reflect on the past year and plan our course for the days to come in hopes of a better tomorrow. I'm sure you have heard of the term, "New Year's Resolutions"?

What are we really saying each new year? That we need to change? That we want to change? If we want this year to be different than past years, that is EXACTLY what it will take.

The Webster's Dictionary defines change like this:

Is your New Year's Resolution to loose weigh, exercise, take a trip, become more organized, give something up, start a new business? What is it and will these choices make us better? For me, I am starting back on a work-out routine #Fitin14. And for the Titanic....

Introducing BIG Changes in January 2014 at the Titanic Museum Attractions. 

At the ship of dreams, we are introducing new galleries! This Friday, January 10, 2014, The Titanic Museum Attraction in Branson, Mo. will open a new Gallery dedicated to the 8 Heroic Musicians who sailed onboard Titanic. The stories of their gallantry captured the spirit of courage, duty and self-sacrifice that we honor everyday at Titanic.

Then, On Friday January 17, 2014, The Titanic Museum Attraction in Pigeon Forge, Tn. will open a new Exhibit honoring Margaret "Unsinkable Molly" Brown.

Why do we continue to introduce new galleries each year? So that our guests have something new to learn and experience. CHANGE is good, right?

How do you pay respect to those who gave their lives? You simply tell their stories and that is what we do every day at the Titanic Museum Attractions. If you want to learn more, make a New Year's Resolution to come visit us. You'll be glad you did.

P.S. Today I have to run 1.75 miles. I'll keep you posted on my CHANGE.
