My Field Trip To Old Salem

Old Salem

On the morning of my field trip to Old Salem, I had to get up at 6:00 a.m. and I left the house at 6:30 a.m. to get to school. And the reason we had to be at school at 6:30 a.m. is because we were ridding on charter bus and they were leaving with everyone on them exactly at 7:00. It was a 2 hour trip there and back so altogether it was a 4 hour trip.

First of all I should tell you what chaperone group I am in. The chaperone that I was with was Justin’s mom. So when we were on the unguided tour we went to the Brothers tavern first and we saw how girls would get colorful ribbons to show if they were married, engaged, looking for someone right, or even still to young to marry.

The next place we went to was the printers and it had a printer that they mint have used in the old days. Then we went to the bakery and bought some stuff. I bought a Dr. Pepper and then when I left the bakery I opened my drink but when we decided to go to the doctors house we didn’t know that we couldn’t bring in drinks so I drank the whole can of Dr. Pepper when I had just started to drink it.

But anyway inside the doctor’s house we saw all the metical stuff the doctor would use to operate on his patients. See when the doctor came to your house to operate on the sick one your kitchen table would become his operation table so you would lay on the table and be operate on and then when it was all over you could gently get off.

After that we had lunch and since it was pretty cold that day, the people that worked at Old Salem tried to give everyone in the 4th grade a nice warm sunny place to sit and eat lunch. So then after lunch some of the chaperones were taking some kids to the gift shop and I bought some things like a pen for my mom and a little journal for me then once we all were done with the gift shop we got back on the bus and went back home.
