Every year we have a class trip. This year, me being in 7th grade, we went to Philidelphia! So the bus ride is about 5 and a half hours including our reststop and traffic, so that meant we had to leave at 5:30am. My friend slept over the night before to make things easier. In the morning we stopped for a much needed Dunkin' Donuts stop. My mom got coffee and me and Brooke got french vinella coolatas. (noncafinated) They were goooood. The bus is always one of my favorite parts of everything.... I don't know why I just think they are fun. I think I might of fallen asleep for a little while, which was nessicary because for the next couple of days we got the bare minimal amount of sleep. Once we finally got there we took a tour of where the all the delegates of the constitutional convention met and made the Decleration of Independece. I must admit that that tour was probably no different than social studies class back at home. In my mind the olny interesting part about that was I got to see exactly where Geroge Washington sat, chair and all. After that bore, it was lunch time. And what else can you have for lunch when you're in Philli besides for a Philli Cheese Steak. ( and yes it deserves to be capitolized ) It was AMAZING! The cheese perfectly melted and the steak perfectly cooked with a big delicious bun around it. And what made it better was the supreme fries on the side...... delectiable! After lunch, we took a tour of a really cool museam. It was a lot of stuff about not judging people, and that we are all different. There were some really cool exibits. Then we went to see a show that was a one man show with a movie going on around her. It was interesting, but a little weird. Then the last thing we did in the city was see the Liberty Bell. It was really cool..., but I guess it was not the original, but the forst molding of the original, and that the crack was hand made...... I don't really know but it was cool.
Then we went to the baseball game. It was the Philidelphia Blue Rox against some other team that escapes my mind. I didn't really watch the game, just hung out. But, the most exciting thing at the game was that I sang America the Beautiful with about 18 other people at the beginning of the game. We ate dinner there and then headed back to the hotel.
All the kids had groups of 4 or 5 and the kids had the rooms to their selves.... YES! Oh, and did I mention my mom came as one of the chaperones?? So we got back at around 10:00 and got into our pajamas brushed our teeth.... and stayed up! Not for long though because we were really tired. The principals put tape on our doors so he knows if we snuck out and we have to unplug our phones because some kids are rebels. hehe. We got up in the morning at 6:45am and took showers and had breakfast. Then our bus went to a museaum where we saw a omni show about the Tour de France ( and from french class I now know that de means "of" ) It was very interesting, I learned many new things that I didn't already know. After that we spent almost an hour at a little brain teaser desk. The lady gave us riddles, puzzles, mazes, and a bunch of other cool stuff. Then the last thing we did was the zoo. And I think that that was my favorite stop. We saw giraffes, bears, monkeys, reptiles, alligators, birds, and some creepy things too. I also got dippin dots there...... more yummm!
Then was the long ride home. We were wild the first half of the bus ride to the reststop where we ate dinner. On the bus I made some new friends, perfected some racing games, and braided girls hair. The trip was a lot of fun and i can't wait until we go to Washington D.C next year!!!!! :)
P.S- I will add some pics but I can't figure out this stupid computer so I will wait until my dad gets home from D.C
