Staycation

This past weekend, the boyfriend and I had a staycation. Yes, a staycation is a vacation where you stay at home -- still living on college student income people! I would highly recommend this to anyone who is on a budget. Plan fun things throughout your weekend that you don't normally do.


We made dinner together: Chicken marsala with homemade pasta, salad and a chocolate brownie sundae  for dessert. Got him with the flour!


Boltini for some martinis


My new favorite martini? Raspberry truffle martini


Visiting Allerton Park for a picnic and relaxation
