Travel Tuesday: Week 12

Hello, and welcome to another edition of Travel Tuesday! This week's topic is a throwback: What’s the best school field trip you ever went on as a kid? As always, you are free to write about anything travel-related; don't feel obligated to answer my prompt. And, of course, don't forget to link up below!

As I've mentioned before in this link-up, my central California hometown was within day-trip distance of some pretty cool places. Hence, I got to go on some pretty neat field trips. The best, however, was when I was in sixth grade: My class went to The Tech Museum in San Jose, and it was awesome. (Granted, I couldn't remember the name of the museum and had to post a plea for help on Facebook. Ah, the beauty of crowd-sourced information. Big shout-out to Jessica for identifying it!)

A few things I remember: I saw my first IMAX movie, and I was a little frightened during the previews when we suddenly nose-dived over an Egyptian river. There was also an earthquake platform (very appropriate for an exhibit in the Bay Area) and some neat games with electricity. Most of the details are a distant memory now, but I definitely remember thinking how cool the whole building was.

Disclaimer: I might be slightly biased toward this particular field trip because my "boyfriend" and I sat together on the bus, which was very exciting, but the exhibits were cool, too; I promise! :)

Next week: What’s the longest continuous vacation you’ve ever been on? What was hard about it? What did you like? How did you pack? Also, I'm running out of ideas for topics, so please leave a comment, tweet me or e-mail me if you have any good ideas! It would be much appreciated and help keep this little link-up chugging along. :)
