Jeff Billimek’s Journal

After waking up early today we had an ‘eggie’ for breakfast then to the grocery store to get some supplies. Jen packed up a picnic lunch for us and then we headed out. We drove up to Jen’s parents house to pick up Chloe and then drove a couple of hours north to DeSoto Falls.

While we were driving, I had a slight pain in my side that felt very suspiciously like the same type of pain I had from the kidney stone. Fortunately I had my meds with me. Later on the pain went away and I think it must have been a very tiny kidney stone.

Jen, Chloe, and I spent all day hiking at DeSoto Falls. The weather outside was perfect! Chloe loved it too. We had a great time.

Afterwards we drove back and stopped at the Dawsonville outlet stores so Jen could do some shopping. I remained in the car with Chloe and we listened to my audiobook. Jen gout me some polos and some shirts for herself.

We dropped Chloe off and visited with Jen’s parents for a while. Jen and I assembled some bar stools while Jen’s Mom made pizza for dinner. Katie and Chris showed up and we had a party. We all had dinner and hung out - it was a nice time.

Eventually we went home. I drove about 200 miles today. That’s too much driving - I prefer to fly. I processed some photos from the trip and went to bed.
