Editors note: Last month, the RCES seventh grade took its annual trip to Williamsburg and other areas. One of the students, Bonnie Jewell, spent some time writing a narrative of the trip. Teacher and trip coordinator Arthur Neufeld said," I hope that everyone enjoys reading about the trip. I would like to say ‘Thanks!’ to all the residents of Rappahannock County who, in one way or another, gave us their support. Without you this trip would not be possible."
It all started Tuesday March 14, in the R.C.E.S. gym. We all looked like we were still asleep.
By 6 a.m. we were on the buses and heading toward Dismal Swamp. Wiien we finally got off of the buses, we were able to walk around and wake up. After walking the boardwalk, which led into the swamp, we ate our lunches which we had packed.
When we left the swamp, we went to the Virginia Marine Science Museum, near Virginia Beach. There we saw many interesting exhibits, including fish feeding time. Another exhibit “Sand Blasting”, was very interesting. We had to put a neck-like material into a slot, and for five seconds sand would hit it really hard and force itself into the center of the neck-like matter.
Once we were all finished in the Museum, we went to Cape Henry. While bus . 1 went to the lighthouse, bus .2 went to the beach and then we switched. At the beach we could do whatever we wanted to do, even if we did want to run into the freezing water we could.
When we were at the lighthouse, we could climb to the top or wait at the bottom for the others. We were only able to see the “Old Lighthouse,” because the “New Lighthouse" has military equipment stored in it.
After that, we went to the Williamsburg Travelodge where we would be staying for the rest of the week. When everyone was finally settled in, we ate dinner, loaded the buses, and went to a Colonial Music Program at the Capital in Williamsburg.
There we saw three musicians playing a harpsicord, a violin, and a viola-de-gamba. There was a woman who sang as the musicians played.
After the program, we went back to the motel and went swimming. After a long but interesting day, we finally w'ere able to go to bed.
