Target for Dinner?


Target: by Dalis and Emma
After we got to the hostel and put our luggage away, the parents decided that since we had such a late lunch that we should have ice-cream for dinner. Everybody loaded up in the vans and drove to Baskin Robbins. Once we all got inside and began choosing our flavors, Mr. Ekin said, “I have a better idea.” SO everyone loaded back in the vans and started following Mr. Ekin. About 45 minutes later we pulled over. Mr. Ekin walked to our car and said that the GPS said that we were here. We kept on driving, trying to find some place to eat ice-cream. After driving for another 20 minutes, we finally found the ice-cream shop we were looking for… only to find that it was closed! We needed to get out of the van. We stopped at the Philadelphia Art Museum and ran up the long stairs that Rocky ran up. Then, we posed for a picture with a Rocky statue. We piled back in the car and began to drive back home again. We had not had any dinner, because we had a late lunch, but at 9 at night, we were getting hungry. Dr. Ekin pulled up to a Target, and told us, “You each have a three dollar budget to get something to eat.” We all got some food, well, actually, desert. Joe got a whole tube of raw cookie dough, Bailey and Dalis got a carton of Ben and Jerry’s ice-cream, Hailey got six cups of chocolate pudding, Madeline got six cups of Jell-O, Will got twenty-two ounces of tapioca pudding, Rebecca got two candy bars and a pack of M and M’s, Lexi, Emma, and Brendan split six cups of chocolate pudding, they each got vitamin water, and Lexi and Emma bought candy, Anna bought Drumsticks, and Makenzie got a slice of Oreo pie. It was a fun but unexpected stop to an unexpected drive.

  2. I hope you went back to the steps at the museum and ran a few more reps to work off all that sugar! Another memorable day! - Mrs. Rohl

  3. It really wasn't that bad. At least one of the chaperones had dark chocolate (the healthy kind) and yogurt. We did determine that people in Philadelphia don't eat ice cream.
