Jar Trip

Karine and I saved $2 a week plus any spare change for about half a year. After graduation I took off to Bolingbrook to spend a few days with her and use our savings on a fun trip to Galena, IL.

We visited a vineyard, which I highly recommend if you're a wine drinker. We were able to see the vines, learn how wine is made, and taste some wonderful wines. It was at this vineyard that I found a new favorite dessert -- raspberry port wine with dark chocolate.

So far, life after graduation is full of fun adventures with friends, exploration in cooking and lots of relaxation. But to all you out there thinking, "Wow, sounds fantastic!" I'm here to tell you it is, BUT the hard work starts soon enough.
