I did not do much star gazing as a child growing up in the great outdoors. My mother and grandmother told me that if i counted the stars i would go blind and as a child, i did not want to go blind. I believe they told me this so i would be afraid to go outside after dark. And it certainly worked.
On that field trip, i was inspired to imagine that there is something bigger than myself in the universal! After all these years, i remember that trip like it was yesterday. I haven't returned to the planetarium but it was a trip that has remained with me through all these years.
I cannot wait to take my children to the planetarium and experience all the magic and wonder it has to offer.
Were you ever inspired by a school trip as a child?

going to the farm was always fun..seeing what God's creatures were able to do..milking a cow made me appreciate that i had milk every morning:-)
I always enjoyed trips to science museums and exploring all the fun stuff that I had no idea about. :) I think it is so important to expose children to everything that we can to get them interested.
i LOVED the planetarium too! i also enjoyed going to the museum and the zoo ... ahhh, school trips were seriously the best! i miss them!
