I don't remember any school field trips, maybe they hadn't invented those yet. 
I remember trips when I was first teaching; going to the circus was a zoo and going to the zoo was a three ring circus! Once I got into EI that was thankfully the last of field trips and report cards and study hall etc. - I liked the nontraditional teaching job better. Although I do have some funny memories of teaching jr. high, those kids were a trip all on their own, we didn't need to take them anywhere. The county was going to build a juvenile justice center on adjacent property and our principal said then we could just walk them next door!

Hahaha - don't give our school any ideas! They are mostly a good bunch but very privileged without even realizing it. You want to see some Coach bags @jcdeboever just check out the Middle and High Schools here in my town. I can't even be too judgey about it since my own princess has one. Although her's is just a little wristlet/phone clutch that was a hand me down from my sister-in-law... I would have taken it myself but my super sized 6s+ didn't fit in there. Princess uses it for her phone and allowance when she goes to the mall. I have seen some of the girls with not just Coach but the quilted Michael Kors mini backpacks and at least one Dooney and Bourke satchel - not sure if her mom knew she was using that at school!
Update - they left on time and invaded NYC at 11:25am.

I wouldn't wait up tonight. Traffic coming North from the city is a nightmare on summer Fridays. No way around it, either.

We have a text alert system that will notify us when they reach the MA border and then again when they are 15 minutes away from the school. Expected arrival is 11:30pm but they have been late the past few years according to my friends who have older kids.

Update. Elvis has left NYC. Princess says traffic is epic. They had great weather and made all of their stops (which has been an issue in the past) and even managed to take some pics.
Um...Peg.......well, um, I don't know if you saw the headlines, but um, Elvis left NYC, and everywhere else a long time ago.
Hopefully traffic will not be too bad, but then we are talking about Friday night and the East Coast, so "not too bad" takes on a whole new connotation.

They are expected back at the school about 11:30pm. Princess has been texting me wanting the gang to sleep over. Um....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~! NO way! Not happening. A group of exhausted, smelly kids who have been cooped up on a bus eating candy and carbs for 5 hours is NOT coming to my house.
Did you let her have the sleep over?
Their middle schoolers, go figure.
