The Sacramento Field Trip!
By: Agrima

    For obvious reasons, we are all excited for the Sacramento field trip that is going to happen next Thursday, May 5th, 2011. We all know that everyone is looking forward to this field trip, and I know for sure that I am DYING for it too (Not literally). Since I have already been to Sacramento quite a few times, I know a few of the sights, yet I am still impatiently longing for the date of the field trip to come. You may ask why, and my immediate answer would be that there are so many things to see, and Sacramento is such a huge city. One of the things in Sacramento that I am looking forward to is going to the State Capital Building, which sounds extremely grand, though I’m sure it’s not as grand as the Capitol building that is located in Washington D.C. As I do not know what we will be seeing in Sacramento, I can only guess, and since the school is so surprising (In a good way, of course) I can only think and imagine the wonders we might “stumble” across. When I was finding out facts about Sacramento, and finding out what cool things they have there, I came across these interesting facts and places to see. Some of them are probably places we’re not going to visit during the school field trip, but in case you ever feel like going there again, for fun, then it would be nice to have some background info, wouldn’t it? Here are some cool places to see:

• Sacramento River- The LARGEST river in North California, this place is a must for any campers, kayakers/rafters, or adventurers. It is one of the best places to camp, and an unforgettable sight that will leave you gaping in awe. The river has served as the state’s transportation route since the 12th century! (I don’t know about you, but that seems pretty long to me!). The river is surrounded by woods, and if you’re a hiker, and you love to camp, then you should really go! Did you know that the Sacramento River hosted all the water sports for the Winter Olympics the last time they hosted the Winter Olympics in America?! Sounds pretty cool to me....

• Crocker Art Museum- Regardless of your taste in art, this museum is something any architecture-lovers would love, and if you do like art, then this will be an unforgettable experience for you. If you don’t like these things, then I only have one piece of advice: Try it out anyways! (But if you have like, phobia of art or something, then DON’T GO!!! =)

• Sutter’s Fort- This is a recreation of the fort built by John Sutter (a.k.a. Harsh). If you are a fan of history, and love architecture, then you should check out this historic sight. San Juan Batista lovers... this is your golden ticket! You should maybe search up about John Sutter and his fort and get some general knowledge before you visit, though (If you do visit, that is), otherwise you’ll be completely clueless, and hate something that many others love.

So, I just gave you a few things that you might like to see, if you ever go there, and if they don’t fit your needs... hey! They aren’t the only things in Sacramento, you know?! There are many others you can search up to live expectations. But again, you might not need to do that; it may all be in our Sacramento field trip, coming soon! What part of the Sacramento Field Trip are you looking forward to, and what might you want to see when we go there?
