7!!!!!!!

Carter turned seven on Saturday, and his latest topic of interest is the RMS Titanic. He bought a book at his school's book fair called "I survived," and it featured a section on the Titanic. He has been hooked ever since! When we were in Pigeon Forge on Spring Break last year, we noticed there was a Titanic Museum. So we loaded up on Friday and took Carter to Tennessee for a special birthday surprise. 

ROAD TRIP up to Tennessee!!! The Griswolds don't have anything on us! Holiday Road!!!

We visited with Grandma and Papa Craig while in Tennessee. Papa Craig also joined in on Carter's birthday surprise. 

Surprise!! He was so excited! Unfortunately, they would not allow phone or camera use inside, so we didn't get any pictures of the inside.

However, they did allow a picture of us on the grand stair case. I was clearly underdressed for first class-ha!

Al, the birthday boy, and Layla before boarding the ship.

We were each assigned a character upon boarding the ship. These were real passengers, and at the end of the tour, we would find out their fate.

Carter received a special recognition for being the only birthday boy on the ship.

My kids love staying in a hotel, but to open birthday presents in one is the ultimate.

Hard to believe this little guy is seven!!
