QotD: No shouting on the bus!
What was your most memorable or favorite school field trip?
In answering this question, I tried to think of all the field trips I went on during my elementary school life in Los Angeles. Off the top of my head, I could remember:
- Los Angeles Children's Museum
- Los Encinos State Historic Park
- San Fernando Mission
- Huntington Museum
- Los Angeles Natural History Museum
- Universal Studios
It was a pretty strenuous task trying to remember more than the first three field trips. It's amazing how little I can remember of elementary school other than the kids picked on me and I was most likely ditched by other kids at each of these destinations.
Still, my most memorable and favorite field trip was always the Los Angeles Children's Museum. As a class, we went there for a couple different school years and, I can actually remember the experience of being there. It's one of those children's museums where kids can interact with kid-sized versions of hospitals, fire stations, news stations, etc... One giant make-believe session. Anyway, I loved that place.

They made us go to the La Brea Tar Pits and Catalina. Catalina was nice but both field trips were punctuated by periods of nausea. Field trips should not be nauseating.
I went to a similar museum as a child, and I loved it as well. I totally want to go back there with a group of friends and play pretend in the big rooms again :D
I just need to get a group of friends first...
