Catherine and her classmates get to go on a field trip here today. She's very excited, and has been talking about it for weeks now.
This makes all four of our kids who've made the tour, and you really have to give Vulcan Materials credit for doing these tours. (Even though they list them under the makes-me-all-itchy title of "Social Responsibility" on their website.)
But the kids always have had a great time, and learn all about the abundance of mineral resources around here--which is pretty much the reason there IS an "around here," around here. They have a handy facility finder to help you or your kid's teacher find out if there is a quarry or other place near you.
Rock on.
