Girl Scout Field Trip

Our Girl Scout troop recently had a double field trip in downtown Atlanta. We started at the CNN Center for a tour of CNN. The girls have been working on the Media Journey so we thought a trip to the CNN Studios would follow along with that.

One thing that I found interesting from our tour, was that the CNN building used to house an indoor amusement park called The World of Sid & Marty Kroft! Unfortunately the park closed after only 6 months. I would LOVE to see pics of this place!! I've searched online but haven't found much so far.

Here's a picture of the girls outside of CNN.


Another one of the girls inside with a rainbow unicorn creature that I am unfamiliar with.

I didn't take many pictures on our tour. We were restricted in many areas and when we could take pictures, we couldn't use our flash. (It took me a while to figure out how to turn the flash off on my camera! Oops!)


Here's a picture of Hannah with a cardboard Wolf Blitzer. The look on her face says it all. "Who IS this guy????". I assured her that her father would know who he was.


We at lunch at the CNN food course. Well, actually, we bought lunch at the CNN food course, but we were in a hurry to get to our next destination, so we ate in the cars.

Our next stop was Georgia Tech. We signed up for a Girl Scout only Scratch Animation workshop. The girls really had fun learning how to use Scratch.






What a fun day! The girls are excited to try more Scratch animating at home. I can't wait to see what they come up with!
