NYC FIELD TRIP 2019
The day began with me rushing to school (as always) to ensure that I would make it on time to the cafeteria. Here I saw my group all sitting together where I joined them. We waited an inpatient ten minutes to start heading onto the bus. Once we were seated I plugged my AirPods in and enjoyed the ride listening to my favorite playlist. We arrived into the busy city and everyone went into this little minimart sort of place. Some students got food, but many got coffee at one of the pop ups, including the teachers lol. Once many students realized there was a Starbucks right next door, many were upset they got coffee from the popup store and got another drink from Starbs. After this, my group began to walk to the escape room building. It was a tedius 20 minute walk. Once we arrived, we sat and waited for the guys working to go over the rules for the rooms. The time came. It was finally time to go into the rooms. A guy took me and my team into a small dark room, there was a small TV in the corner of the room projecting background information on Houdini and one person needed to pick a code to write onto the board. After this time began and we were scrambling to find all sorts of clues. The room was so fun and confusing. It took a lotto thinking and definitely A LOT of clues! We sadly never made it out on time, but the guy did show us what we needed to finish doing in order to have escaped. The last lock code would have been the one Ashely wrote down in the beginning to escape the room. The experience was all around so fun and my group and I had a blast. After we finished, we all left the building extremely hungry. We walked around Macy's and looked at all the fancy stores. We then decided to go eat at this place called 'Toast' where we got smoothies and snacks. There wasn't too much time after this to do much, so we looked around and headed back to the meeting spot, Penn Station. Here we took pictures and waited for the other groups to meet up with us. We all got onto the bus and headed for home. The field trip was all around so fun and memorable. I think everyone had a good time in the city and were super thankful for the opportunity. We of course missed Ms. Menake though :( and hopefully we will be able to do another trip with her there!
