312 on a slow day

It's been a super slow day for work today so I've been doing some exploring. First I went and cleared my head for a bit in nature. That always helps bring me some peace and it was a beautiful day for it. 

    Wetlands Preserve in Freeport, IL

After that I went and saw the site of the 1858 Lincoln / Douglas debate. I'm a sucker for historical sites. 


All that exploring and waiting for any kind of work, had me hungry. For lunch I found a place called 312 Beef and Sausage and was super excited that I may have found a piece of Chicago out here. I immediately stopped for a beef and it honestly wasn't worth the stop. I've been spoiled by food in Chicago my whole life. They tried, they really tried but it was disappointing.


Tomorrow I'm back in Dubuque, IA Going to work, do laundry and explore some of the Mississippi River. 

Finished Firefly Lane on Netflix last night and had a good cry, my goodness. Highly recommend if you haven't watched it yet. 

Much Love ❤️

Summer of Jenn 2

    Started off Summer of Jenn 2 with a short trip to one of my favorite venues to see one of my favorite bands (moe.) play an amazing show with some amazing friends!      I was going to take a quick disco nap and head straight from Dillon to Chicago but my car has been burning oil and my roommate insisted I get it fixed before I drive across the country. $600 later and I was told to just get a new car. Thanks... I guess I got new spark plugs too but I could've done that myself.      I'm a day behind on travel so I decided to do the drive over night. Haven't really done that before, I usually leave around 2am. Wish me luck!  Much love ❤️

A little Phish

    Spent a weekend at Deer Creek with so many friends! A great time was had and I'm looking forward to this weekend in Bethel, even if it's going to be a wet one!      After Phish I ended up in Ohio for a few days. Spent a lot of time outside and laughing with some of my favorites. Tomorrow I'm back on the road again. I'll be crossing off another state from my list, working, camping and checking things out. I made sure to give myself plenty of time for all of that in-between shows.  Much love ❤️

    The first over night drive was successful, as in, I got here. I think it's actually the way to go. Nebraska is so much better when you can't see it, construction zones aren't active yet and there are less police and awful drivers on the road. But I do feel like it took so much longer. (It didn't) I also put so much oil in my car just to get here... I don't want to talk about it. All the drives coming up are much shorter and I hope the car is agreeable.     Every time I come home my dad grabs Portillo's for dinner. I swear I'm still full. I heard they are opening one in Denver, would be nice to have a little slice of home close by.     After dinner I spent time with friends and learned more about spray tanning than I ever needed to know, but I'm always thankful for new knowledge! This is the first Phish tour in years that we won't be at any of the same shows and it's weirding me out!      Tomorrow the kids are helping me d...
