Never once was it nearly that cool. This may've been in part because my mom was a chaperone EVERY single time. My mom, the middle school teacher who felt like we weren't getting our education's worth on any trip unless we were bored silly with all the learning we could possibly cram in to a day. Never Starbucks, though then again, Starbucks didn't exist back in the dark ages (aka the 80s).<BR/><BR/>I still have flashbacks just seeing a picture of the stupid Liberty Bell.
