We finally arrive early the next morning at our hotel in downtown D.C. Our room was on the seventh floor. Six students were assigned to a room. We would observe people walking on the sidewalks from our room. Somebody began tossing bars of soap out the window. It's a wonder they didn't come up and throw all of us out of that hotel.
Our first sight seeing trip was to see the Capital and all it's historical monuments. The different monuments were all so impressive. Most of the kids used the elevator to ascend the Washington Monument but not several of us. We walked all those steps both up and down. Once at the top you could fell the monument sway.
The trip I enjoyed the most was the MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY. That night we would get to go to an amusement park for some FUN. At the time they had the world's biggest roller coaster. The girl I was with said lets ride, I don't think I want to ride I'll get sick. All the kids said you are a CHICKEN so I rode that big bad monster. Wrong move on my part, I got so sick I went and rode it again. I had vertigo for two days . This was my last coaster ride!!!! At the time I wished I was a CHICKEN!!!
The girl I was with turned out to be the spy my girlfriend had watching me on the trip. When we returned home she told my girl friend that I was good on the trip. She didn't tell her what a good time we had!!
We would eat our meals at Morrison's. The man in charge made everybody stay in line, one girl Gail wasn't paying attention and he made her go to the back of the line. Once at our table I said we will fix that guy up good. We took all of our left over food and place it in one tray and mixed it up real good and using one of the girls lipstick I made a sign that said, ALL THE FOOD YOU CAN EAT FOR 50 cents and placed it in the window for passer byers to see. Man the guy almost threw the whole class out of Morrison's.
On the way home Bobby , a big bully ran me and Edwin out of our rear seat so he could sleep.Edwin said we will fix him up. We collect cups of water and cokes and poured them all into one big cup. The cup was placed on a shelve over Bobby's head while he slept. Some times later the cup would fall off and get all over Bobby. You talking about MAD, Bobby wanted to know who did this, but no one would tell. He said he would whip all the boys on the bus if someone didn't tell. I'm sure Bobby could have whipped everyone of us, but he never found out who was guilty.
On the bus trip back home one of the boys on our bus had the driver to pull over on the side of the road so he could get out. He had drank some wine and wasn't feeling too good?? I want name his name but WATTS his name???
One of the girls had took some photos of some girls in the shower with one of the boys camera. He was going to develop them in his photo class but was caught by the teacher and she destroyed the film. Sad ain't it.
The trip will always be remembered and bring a gleam in my eyes.
