anyone want to go to newport

[Absint Reefer]

I'm friends with the owner of newport (I bag his fish) and can probably get us in dirt cheap is anyone interested

[redpyro]

that might be cool, havent been in a year or 2....

which reminds me

school class trip in 2 months...to chicago...kids first stop, the Shedd Aquarium...that place it sweet... to bad i have to spend my time there with 250 12 year olds...

[Micki]

Hey Carson, Do you think we would be able to see some behind the scenes action???

[marinelife]

Can we get behind the scenes

[Slicktrax]

is that trip for multiple schools, my daughter brought home paperwork on a trip to chicago awhile back, we couldnt bring ourselves to trust her on a trip like that though.

[Absint Reefer]

maybe behind the scenes depends on how many people come

[redpyro]

we go on our own, all the 6th graders (well 80% of them choose to go) but there are always tons of other school in the city at the same time...kids love it.

last year we ran into a group from frloida, some private school, they brought there entire 6th grade class (only like 25 kids) for something maddening like 12 days...they were insane... i need prozac after 2 days in chicago with them

[Micki]

Sounds cool! I'm in!

[redpyro]

i have been to chicago, lets see this year will make 4 or 5 times, this will be the 3rd class trip, i have nothing bad to say about the place...wonderful city, and i hate big cities...but i would live their given the opprortunity.

[Absint Reefer]

my school never dose anything cool like that we can't even afford buses to get kids to school

[redpyro]

well we are poor too, the kids have to pay (well their parents) like $200 for the 2 days, we rent travel buses to go, also do some fundraising. then in 8th grade they repeat the process and go to DC.

[Slicktrax]

yeah, newport would be fun.

chicago would be fun too (without 250 sixth graders), i would need more than prozac though.

[Micki]

Chi Town is GREAT!!! Although I've never gone with 250 sixth graders... :D

[redpyro]

well there is this one neighborhood we drive through on the way to diner every year...i could ask the driver to pull over and get you some crack...seriosuly...last year th ebus got shot while we were inside eating, 9mm into the side window...who knew those windows where bulletproof

[Micki]

Never a dull moment in Chi Town!!! :D

[redpyro]

the first year we went to were suppossed to take a board ride on the chicago river, it was raining and the board was open topped...so we stood under a bridge for a hour with 250 6th graders before going to a very upscale mall for 4 hours with 250 6th graders...i needed a mega dose of drugs that night...god bless the hotel bar

[ohioreef]

I'd love a trip to Newport, especially if we could get a behind the scenes look.

An eventual trip to Shedd would be cool as well!!

[marinelife]

so can we get behind the scenes at newport

[redpyro]

can we swim with the sharks...while bleeding?

[marinelife]

yes you can

[redpyro]

sweet

[Absint Reefer]

I'll call James sometime this week to see if we could go

[atreis]

I would definitely be interested. Even more interested if we can get some behind the scenes info!

[Subrafta]

I'd be interested too.

We got a mini behind the scenes tour last time we were there. My three year old son ducked into a side door as it opened and I said, "see, those pumps are like the ones on Daddy's tank, but much bigger" as I guided him back into the hallway. I ended up talking to the guy whose door we hijacked about tanks and saltwater in general and he took us back in for a bit. I was impressed with how contained and quiet everything was.

[redpyro]

you can do that when you have big $$$

[Subrafta]

Yeah, but it would have been cool to see a 10,000 gallon 'fuge full of cheato... ;-)

[ohioreef]

Would we be able to bring the family? Mine would kill me if I went and didn't take them.

[marinelife]

Is crson still working on it now that he is out

[redpyro]

i think he is out from what he said

yes carson?

i have a daughter thats a student at North school, i feel so much better about the Chicago trip knowing the buses have bullet proof glass.
btw i thought i was the only one in Greenville that knows you can do more with salt than just sprinkle it on potatos:D

[redpyro]

you are number 3 on here tha i know of...who is your daughter?

[Absint Reefer]

I can't get ahold of him but I won't have time to try till next week have to take the OGT

[Micki]

OGT?

[Absint Reefer]

Ohio Graduation Test
it determines if I get to pass high school or not

[Micki]

Ohhh, please pass that! :)

[Absint Reefer]

I hope I do that would suck to do all that work and not pass

[Micki]

No kidding... Do you plans for after graduation?

[Absint Reefer]

[Micki]

Oh, I thought you were a Senior. Sorry...

[Absint Reefer]
