Jerry Barnes-Joyce Kitchens trip to Chattanooga

On Memorial Day weekend we were visited by our friends Joyce Kitchens and Jerry Barnes and made a trip to Chattanooga. They were leaving us in Chattanooga and we were continuing on our trip up the Tennessee River to Knoxville.

We did what we always do on trips (Eat, Sleep, Read).

We traveled up the river and landed in Chattanooga along the waterfront downtown.


After a delightful time, J and Kendra Tingle came by and drove Joyce & Jerry back to Goose Pond Marina to get their car.

After they left we were visited by our friends Tim and Joy Gibbons. We had not seen them for about 17 years and it was a great visit catching up on our lives.

We made a day trip up to Chickamauga Lake and they left us at Harrison Bay state park. The next morning we got a phone call that Paul's mother had unexpectedly died overnight and so we once again aborted our trip up the river and headed back to the marina in order to go back to Athens, GA. We now may try to make the trip in the fall.
