This was a fun and interesting trip that seemed to go by too fast. There were many good times and only a few things that didn't go as planned. We all rode in a bus for many hours to get to Pennsylvania. Waking up early to get there on a decent hour.
Our first stop in Pennsylvania was Gettysburg. We went to the battlefield and museum to see the place where history took place. It was and amazing experience to see and learn everything about a place that you read about in history class. When we were done there we walked around the town and investigated all the historic buildings. It was amazing to see so much history in one place and how they preserved it. Trips like this help you learn so much more then you would just sitting in a classroom everyday.
On our second day in Pennsylvania we went to Utz potato chip factory where we saw how they were made. We got to go through the factory and see all the machines and what they did to make potato chips. There were many things there to buy including clothing that said Utz on it. I got a t-shirt then looked around at all the different snacks there. Potato chips, chocolate covered pretzels, and chocolate covered potato chips which were actually very good.
The last stop was Hershey park which was definitely the most exciting. We got to go on rides and that was when I road my first big roller coaster. I turned out to love them and go on them whenever I go to an amusement park now. The water park was closed that day and so was the tour of the Hershey factory. That made many of us disappointed but it was still fun.
When your younger and go on a field trip it's always very exciting. This trip in particular was great because it was somewhere new and different from the usual ski trip. Riding in a bus with your friends to keep you company the trip went fast. I think more schools should do more field trips for students so they can learn in a new way as well as have a good time.
