Annual grade school trip to Manhattan to visit the Museum of Natural History and Hayden Planetarium. ENDLESS renditions of the 100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall . Those poor teachers !
Trip into Manhattan to see re-issue of GONE WITH THE WIND on a huge screen in one of the genuine movie Palaces.
Senior HS trip to Washington DC with an overnight at a fancy hotel.
Trip to Stratford Connecticut for Shakespear play with the bus breaking down in the rain , no phones available to call the school and we didn't get back until middle of the night a.m. time. Not a good memorable that one  |

In the 70's my class took a field trip to the Piper aircraft company and got to see them putting planes together. My brother's girlfriend was working there and she recognized me and waved to me.
They built a plane called the Enforcer which was based on the P-51 Mustang, but the Air Force decided not to buy it. I wish I had gotten a look at it while I was there, but private planes were the only ones I saw.

1996-1997 I think.
Anyway it was Early days of High school and we went camping with the entire class and it was fun but also scary because it was the first time i was a way form home/family, i remember not wanting to go but my mom forced me to and it turned out to be a lot of fun as i met my future best friend and also my first love.
We nearly burned down a cabin making Mac and cheese, went swimming on a lake past midnight and stole a ton of junk food form a vending machine lol.

That was one of my favorite parts about elementary school...the field trips! We mostly went to places like museums, historical sites, and theaters. I think my most memorable ones would be going to Epcot Center in 6th grade and Universal Studios in Orlando in 8th grade.

In senior year, we had a field trip to a fancy hotel to get an administrarion class/tour. When we were taking the tour I was walking next to two classmates. One of them jokingly dared the other to start smoking weed right there (the teacher and the staff were pretty nearby). The other guy, unfazed, pulled out his stash and gave it a hit.

One favorite was a "category" of outings, and there's, also, a stand-out trip.
-- When I was in elementary school, the San Francisco Ballet, Opera and Symphony gave a yearly performance for the school children, from all schools ... public and private. They did it on a rotating basis, so it was a ballet, one year, and an opera the next year, etc.. I always loved those. But, the 6th grade year was extra special. The SF Opera did a performance of "Carmen." Our teacher was a talented singer and opera "buff," who had performed with the Opera Chorus. He really prepared us, in terms of the story, the music and opera presentations, in general.
-- The stand-out trip, also occurred in the 6th grade. We studied legislative and executive government, on a level that we could grasp. Then we took a day-trip to Sacramento, where the State Senator, and Assemblyman from our District greeted us, took our questions and gave us a tour of "the floors." One of the houses wasn't in session that day (I can remember which one), but we went to the gallery of the other house to watch it "in action."

Maybe 8 or 9 years old. We went to the State Capitol building. And it's a domed building and on the inside you can go to the top of the dome and look down. It wasn't very challenging and nothing like a daredevil would need to do. A class of 30 kids did it. Now, I was pretty much afraid of heights. But I put my big boy pants on and marched through it. Some other kid, well he straight up started crying. Spazzing out. Like ugly crying, with snot and everything. I'm thinking "what a dork". Then it was a dilemma because he wasn't going up, but the teacher couldn't leave him alone, and someone needed to go up to the dome with the class. So of all people, the cutest girl in class chose to stay down with him. And was all nice and consoling. I'm just thinking "Son of a bitch, I could have done that, and I'd be talking to the cute girl instead of climbing these stairs scared shitless."
