For Chris' birthday I got him "tickets" to the National Geographic Museum so he could geek out at the "Titanic: 100 Year Obsession" exhibit. We finally got to go at the beginning of May. We also went down and say the Titanic Memorial down by the Waterfront. Here is the barrage of pictures.
Hands down the coolest things there was this 1:48 replica of Titanic. Just amazing.
Morse Code - there were two stations and you could talk to each other.
Life boat.
Life jackets showing that for every six people only two survived.
Interactive display that had different programs to explore the wreck site, answer trivial, watch videos, etc.
Second most coolest thing there was this projection of the wreck. It was on the floor and when you walked over a certain part it would change to what it looked like before the crash.
Model of the bow of Titanic as it is today.
Robot that explored the inside of the Titanic.
Not so "King of the World".
We also did a little shopping in the National Geographic store. We got some cool ice cube molds of the Titanic and ice bergs (see below).
On to the Titanic Memorial at the Waterfront.
(family pictures are now a trial in patience)
As promised. This ice cube tray makes little Titanics and icebergs. 
Overall I think it was a pretty awesome birthday present if I do say so myself. We even went to lunch at Bobby's Burger Palace which is Chris' favorite restaurant; when he wants a burger, there is no other place the even comes close. We also found a pretty neat frozen yogurt place called Fro-zen-yo that is a new family favorite.
