The thing is we all know what I'm talking about. It is THE field trip. The most iconic academic excursion in modern day education. It's the DC trip - and you know it's THE trip to DC because the field trip attendees take a photo outside The White House and they're all wearing beige cargo shorts with Aéropostale t-shirts.  If they aren't wearing this, they aren't in 8th grade and they aren't on THE DC trip.
