Yesterday Ben and I ventured to the Flint Riverquarium in downtown Albany. We wanted to expose Ben to the extraordinary cultural emphasis of this small city :)
We saw river turtles, snakes, alligators, and extremely excited 9-year-olds. We learned about the ACF river system. The Flint River starts in Atlanta and runs south through Albany until it meets the Chattahoochee River at the southern corner of Georgia. A lake is formed there...Lake Seminole...but on the other side of that the Apalachicola River finishes it off by flowing right into the Gulf of Mexico. Amazing.
We played a weather game in which I devastated Ben because of that geology class I took last summer. We also played a video game about water conservation and Ben took his revenge. Overall, it was a positive experience and I have been further educated on matters of the area I now call "home".
