I think Missouri sounds like an interesting place.I just might want to go there!
You should visit Branson’s Titanic Museum Attraction. I can only imagine what the passengers of the RMS Titanic must have experienced that cold, starry night in 1912. What a fateful voyage! When you arrive, they give you a “boarding pass” with the name of an actual passenger that was onboard the original RMS Titanic. My character was Lady Duff Gordan, a fashion designer. I got to view the Memorial wall at the end of the tour and discovered that she was one of the survivors. My husband was not so lucky. His passenger died that night. It really gave us chills to get to know them and their fate.
My husband and I went to Branson last year for the first time. We had the best time. We even bought a resort there and we are going back this July to stay for our free week. I have planned to see several shows and museums. So much to do and so little time. Branson here we come again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
