Answer:
Journal,
Okay, my name is Cornell Kleinl, and I’ll tell you about my trip to Georgia to see my friend Evan Locks who lives in Augusta Georgia. Augusta is located along the banks of the Savannah River, which is located in the Coastal Plains of Georgia. The first night I was there we were so excited it took us until one in the morning to go to sleep. The next day the first place we visited was the Augusta Museum of History. That got me thinking on what coastal plains are, so I did my research on them and found that coastal plains can be found along the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. And there was another question that kept me thinking “What forms Coastal Plains?” and I found the answer I was looking for: Coastal plains can form in two basic ways. Some start as a continental shelf, a flat piece of land located below sea level. When the ocean level falls, the land is exposed, creating a coastal plain. Sometimes, these coastal plains can extend far inland. Now since I was thinking about regions, since the information I found online spiked my interest, I decided to research the regions in Georgia. My friend told me there were 5 regions in Georgia: Coastal Plain, Piedmont, Blue Ridge, Ridge and Valley, and Plateau. Since I have already researched the coastal plains, I decided to give the other four a shot. When I researched Piedmont, I found out that its terrain is very rugged, with rolling hills, complex rock formations, and is 200 to 800 above sea level. When I looked into the geography for Blueridge I found it very similar to Piedmont, it’s terrain is also very rugged but it is the mountains that make it important. It has weathered peaks varying in elevation from 1,600 to 4,700 feet and harbors spectacular mountain scenery, as well as some of the world's richest biological diversity. The Ridge and Valley features long, parallel ridges overlooking wide, rolling valleys. From the valley floor, the ridges often appear to be mountains, but actually the highest is only approximately 700 feet tall. Elevations within this region range from 700 to 1600 feet above sea level. I found out that the Plateau is situated in the northwestern corner of Georgia and surrounded by the Valley and Ridge region to the south and east, the Appalachian Plateau is the state's smallest physiographic region.
My friend helped me research all this information, it was so much fun since I like Geography. I’m exhausted, tomorrow we’re going to drive to Atlanta.

Today we were in Atlanta, there were so many places to go, it was really hard to choose. First we went to the Georgia Aquarium, it was unbelievable, there are over 120,000 animals in that aquarium. I saw sharks, stingrays, many different kinds of fish, plus I say dolphins which happen to be my favorite type of animal. You want to know what is even cooler than the aquarium, World of Coca-Cola. There you can see the history of the Coca-Cola Company. I really like soda, especially Coke, so I enjoyed it. We also went to Zoo Atlanta. It has 1,500 animals, I saw some kinds of animals I’ve wanted to see for a long time. It took us 2 hours and 20 minutes to get there so we headed home.
P.S. I forgot, we ate at a restaurant which I think it was called Bones or something, I forgot!

Today we toured a large garden in Atlanta and then we headed to check out the mountain Brasstown Bald, it is 5,000 feet high and it was beautiful, very spectacular. We still have two days to enjoy.

We checked out another city called Evans, we had fun there but mostly they just showed me around.
P.S I had so much fun in Georgia learning about its history, geography and all its exciting places to visit, I loved it!!!
