Recently, at school I went to Sacramento as a field trip. I went there with my class, my teacher, and chaperones. We went on a bus service called Sierra Pacific. We went there on
May 31st, 2012. We started from Goldenview elementary. We also had a tour guide with us all day. While getting to Sacramento Our teacher played the movie:
How to eat Fried Worms
Our first stop was Old Sacramento, where we studied the place where gold miners dug for gold. Also we saw a paddle wheel boat, that was used to take people up to the gold mines, and take people from the mines to San Francisco.
We walked from the port in Old Sacramento to the Railroad Museum, still in Old Sacramento. We learned about The big 4 and Theodore Judah. We saw many different trains and what they did to the history of California.
Our next stop was the original Wells Fargo bank, where we learned about the difference between Pyrite and Gold. We got to see lead blocks covered with gold coating. We also saw a stage coach model and a lot of facts with it.
We did shopping in Old Sacramento for a little while. I bought a sour apple bubble gum.
Our last stop was Sutter's Fort. We learned about John Augustus Sutter and what he did to California. We saw how they made flour, how the made shelves, and we saw a real live cannon! The only problem was, the fort was easy to breach.
From Sutter’s fort, we dropped off our tour guide and started the long journey home. In the middle of the way home, while we were watching Diary of a wimpy kid, our bus broke down. We had to wait in the bus for 45 minutes, until another bus came. The new bus didn't
have any TVs so we had to do something else. Our teacher says we were very good during the breakdown, so tomorrow we get a prize.
