Air and Space Museum or the Baltimore Aquarium

We went to MD Anderson and saw open heart surgery and cadavers.

My least favorite field trip ended with a broken arm.

fave--The Discovery Center overnight trip. We got to spend the night in a museum!

My least favorite one was when we went to McDonald's to see what happens "behind the scenes." And that was when my parents were paying to send me to private school.

Franklin Institute and the Philadelphia Zoo.

I was never allowed to go on field trips because I wouldn't make it back in time for swimming (posting remotely from the Granite State).

Like Justin I couldn't go on field trips because they were on Fridays and I wouldn't get back in time for meets. I still want to check out Polar Caves and Strawberry Bank...

But as an older kid I went on field trips to DC (where I used an entire roll of film to take pictures of a political march and my friends thought I was the biggest nerd) and Salem, MA to see the House of Seven Gables and Newport, RI to see the mansions - I heart The Breakers. Those were cool.

FBI Headquarters. I got kicked out of the Baltimore Aquarium for feeding my pencil eraser to the piranhas.

I don't respond to questions of my childhood after the emotional rollercoaster of the Surreal Life experience. I can only be so much of a train wreck.

Mayor Bloomberg's response is lamer than a paraplegic.

He doesn't even know which island the Statue of Liberty is on. Good thing he has all that money. He wouldn't be able to win it on "Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader."
