June at Titanic Branson - Summer Adventure Awaits You.

Hi friends. I am literally counting down the days until summer. I love it when my kids get out of school and we can enjoy summer activities. Last time we talked, I was planning all of the great things to do with my family this summer. In this post, I wanted to tell you about all of the events we have planned at the Titanic Museum Attraction in Branson, Mo. this June. I think we have something interesting for everyone. Check it out:

1. Visit the Titanic Musician Gallery - if you haven't had a chance to come see our new 2014 gallery this year, please make plans to bring your family. We have an entire gallery dedicated to the Musicians who sailed on Titanic and played until the ship's final hours. This new gallery is perfect for Branson -the live music show capital of the world!

For more than 50 years, live shows have been a staple of a vacation in Branson. Today with more than 100 shows, Branson is truly the live music show capital of the world! Morning, afternoon and night, Branson offers a variety of entertainment options for all visitors. - See more at: http://www.explorebranson.com/shows/#sthash.bZo6fHuf.dpuf

3. Meet Titanic Descendant Yvonne Hume, the Great Niece of Titanic 1st Violinist, John Law Hume.

When: Friday, June 20th and Saturday, June 21st.
Where: Titanic Museum Attraction Branson, Mo. 

Yvonne Hume is the great niece of Titanic's 1st violinist, John Law Hume, who at age 21, played with Wallace Hartley and the other band members on Titanic, as the ship went down. Ms. Hume was born in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, but grew up in Peckham, London. She has written and published 5 books about Titanic and is now working on her autobiography. She is a fascinating woman who has done extensive research on Titanic and will now be at our Titanic Museum Attraction in Branson, MO. to meet and greet guests and tell of her family relation to John Law Hume. You won't want to miss this great opportunity to speak with a descendant of a Titanic Musician.

4. Visit our Gorgeous Gift Shop busting at the seams with Titanic gifts and collectibles. 

Our gift shop alone is worth the trip (in my opinion). It is gorgeous and full of Titanic gifts and collectibles. My favorite new item is our smoke stack mug. If you pair 4 together, you better leave the 4th one empty. You know why? Because Titanic also had 4 smoke stacks, but the 4th was just for show. It just made Titanic look better.

5. Molly and Carter will make a grand appearance in June! I miss those lovely ladies. 
Here are their hours for the next couple of months. They are our furry friends that help us honor the 10 dogs that were on Titanic. You won't want to miss these brief opportunities to snuggle them. 

 


Now, what are you waiting for? There is a world class Titanic Museum Attraction in Branson, Mo. (and Pigeon Forge, Tn) waiting for you to discover. Come see us with your family and make lifetime memories.

Happy Memorial Day. God Bless you all!

Embrace the Spirit of Adventure!

As the school year comes to an end, I begin looking ahead to summer vacation and the potential to create wonderful memories with my family. What will we do? Who will we visit? What fun, adventurous activities can we do together as a family? It definitely reminds me of the Titanic. There were families that sailed on Titanic who were looking for adventure. They were traveling to America for a new fresh start. If that's not adventurous, I don't what is...

I keep reminding my family that life is short. The time is now to make summer adventure plans. Here is my bucket list for this summer with my family:

1. Visit the Titanic in Pigeon Forge and see the Only Bible Saved from Titanic. (you have to remember that although I work for the Titanic Museum Attraction, I am located in Branson, Mo. and haven't been able to see this amazing artifact.)

2. We are going to take tennis lessons as a family. I played tennis when I was 7 years old and I think I need a refresher course. My children are excited to do this with me.

3. We are going to take a trip to Dallas, Texas to visit the Dallas World Aquarium and hang out with Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, etc.

4. We are going zip lining with our Soccer Club in Branson, Mo. This will definitely involve our spirits of adventure.

5. We will definitely be onboard when Titanic Descendant Yvonne Hume comes to visit the Titanic Museum Attraction in Branson, Mo. this June! If you are a Titaniac, you won't want to miss this opportunity. She was related to one of the Musicians on Titanic - There is an entire gallery dedicated to these musicians and it is on display now through December 2014. It is a must see!

6. The Lake - I know I talk about this every year, but the highlight of my life, summers, family memories, etc. is the lake. I can't wait.

7. Paula Deen is opening a new restaurant in at the Island in Pigeon Forge, Tn. this summer and I have to go try it...I wonder how much butter was used on Titanic? Hmmm. I will find out!

8. No summer would be complete without a trip to White Water in Branson, Mo. They are opening up a new ride this summer and I am terrified, but my spirit of adventure says, "YES"!

9. Talk about adventure! Our sons will be playing in the Schwan's USA Cup in Minnesota. 18 countries and 20 US State teams will be represented and my children will play these teams. We are blessed and I can't wait for this family experience.

#26, My Superstar.

10. Ok. So I have to have something on my bucket list that seems a little bit out of reach. My oldest is really in to Marine Biology and Deep Sea Diving. My dream adventure would be to take him diving at a coral reef or give him classes on how to care for injured marine life. We'll see....

What are your plans? Whatever they are, I hope you are embracing the spirit of adventure in your life.

See you at the Titanic!

Recommended Reading for Children-2 Heartwarming Stories about the Titanic

I want to tell you all about 2 wonderful childrens books that have recently been in the press and have really complimented what the Titanic Museum Attraction aims to accomplish for all children through the museums.


Titanicat is a wonderful childrens book that was written by Marty Crisp and published by Sleeping Bear Press, June 5, 2008. Titanicat is based on the true story of the ship's cat of the doomed Titanic. There was a young sailor named Jim Mulholland who befriended a cat that was traveling on the Titanic with her litter of kittens. He ends up being saved by the cat as it gets off of the ship with all but one of its kittens and then Jim decides to bring the last kitten to its mother. The young sailor learns later that because he rescued the last kitten of the litter off of the Titanic, he actually escaped his own demise.  The illustrations in this book are magnificent and perfect for any child in grades 1-4.

This book has been selected by the state of Missouri and the state of Tennessee as recommended reading for all schools. This selection is a very high honor to any book, and we are proud that it features the Titanic story in such an engaging way. You can purchase your copy today by visiting the Titanic Museum Attraction's online store at http://www.titanicbranson.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=29&products_id=125. 

The other book that I have to mention was written by a 4th grade student at Northview Primary School in Kodak, Tennessee. Nine year old Luke Copas visited the Titanic Museum Attraction in Pigeon Forge, Tn earlier this summer with his Mom and Dad. See...Luke is an avid reader and loves reading about history; one of his favorite subjects is the Titanic. Luke knows so much information about the Titanic that he decided to write a book about it. When he visited the museum, he presented the book to Mary Kellogg-Joslyn, co-owner of the museum. She was so impressed with his writing and enthusiasm that she decided to help Luke get his book published.

Last week on September 16, 2010, in the library at  Northview Primary School, Mary Kellogg-Joslyn and 1st Class Maid Jaynee presented Luke with his very first copy of Facts For Kids About the Titanic by Luke Copas. The WBIR news story can be found at http://www.wbir.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=134540&catid=8 ! Luke spent all day on Saturday at the museum signing copies of his new book and he has now been inspired to write a second book involving facts for adults. The Titanic Museum Attraction will have the book for sale in their store at the museum in Pigeon Forge, Tn and I hope that we can also include his book in our website store.

If you have any questions about how to get your hands on these two publications, send me a message or call our museum at 1-800-381-7670. Enjoy! I would love to hear your reviews!
