When you were in elementary school did you take alot of field trips and where were some of the places that you went?
I remember going to Lockeed, San Luis Obispo (Missionary) Great America and Mission San Jose Church, all were in Northern California (Bay Area).

NOOO!!!
Okay, we went to San Loius Obispo, the old bear making factory in San Francisco, the Cow Palace, Sacramento, stuff like that...

In Grade One (not yet six years old) i remember going to this place called "Fairy Park" and there was a great big castle you could go into and it was all mystical n stuff (well to me it was!) and they had this cage for Hansel and Gretel which i was scared off cause i found that story along with Little Red Riding Hood to be very disturbing stories. The thought of being eaten gave me a stitch in my lil tummy man i was a scaredy cat teehee. But yeah, that was the best excursion i'd ever been on from memory!!! It was just a complete wonderland, and cause i always had such a vivid imagination, it all seemed so real to me!!! Loved it.

Magic Mountain and Universal Studios. The educational ones were supposed to be the local zoo named CALM just outside of Bakersfield, CA (Southern San Joaquin Valley) but that was boring. All they had were desert animals like snakes and lizards and hawks.

My thread is just doomed now isn't it?
or was it doomed from the start?

Oh yeah I forgot about San Francisco, we went to the Presidio, Exploratoriam, never had a chance to go to that bear making Co, that would have been fun. I also remember going to Chabot College in Hayward to watch some planet show.

:LOL: sorry

we went on like 3 field trips and i dont even remember where we went but i can gaurantee they sucked

Oh no..this reminds me of a trip we took to a dairy farm when I was about eight. I hated every minute of it. I don't know if anyone has been to a dairy farm but the smell was *absolutely overwhelming* I wanted to get back onto the bus but the teacher wouldn't let me all she would say is, "You'll get used to it." You couldn't get away from it, it was everywhere you went. I was in tears.

You were a fun kid, eh?

I live in Scotland, in primary 7 (aged 12) we went to Belgium. We visited a weird theme park based around honey (Meli Park) and i thought i was so cool bringing everyone back jars of chocolate honey!

We also saw the 'Manequin Pis' (sp?) which , naturally at that age was the highlight of our trip!
