Successful Accompong Primary Field Trip to Kingston

My two youngest children and I joined the local school on a field trip! 

Last Friday, the kids and I rode on the Accompong Maroon bus all the way to Kingston with a group of other parents and students.

We visited the Jamaica Defence Force Air Wing, Hope Gardens, and had a memorable stop at a local KFC on the way back home to St. Elizabeth. 

Observing from the back of the bus I saw sleeping pickney rolling through the hills on our community bus, and as we drove home I knew it was a day we’d remember for years to come. Ase.

The playground and field trip in Jamaica was a lot like the trips I'd supervise in the USA. Parents, children, destinations, complete.

Everyone was hungry after a long day of traveling and visiting Kingston. Three buses filled with Maroons stopped at KFC to fill our bellies. My son may or may not have made a bee-line to a Domino's to secure a full belly immediately (and he loves Pizza which we don't get to have often here). Two hours later, everyone was had their food and we headed home. Ase.
