Whoops, sorry for the delay on my Illinois trip reports. I well either got to busy, or to lazy to write these. Anyways, excuses aside let's get down to the details of my vacation from may 9th through the 19th. If you haven't yet, please refer to my last two journal entries for more details.
Anyways, after my couple days with the family. Jacobs Graduation from community college came up. So I was able to go and see that. The day was fairly amusing, beginning with a spotted shroom deal, gaying out Jacobs car, and a family grad party for the evening.
Ah the shroom deal. Early in the morning, Jacob had to go to rehearsel. Damon and I rode with him, since well we slept at his house. Before the rehearsel, we stopped off at a gas station. For the removal of something or another. I cannot recall, anyways at one point. A car pulled up next to us, a young kid got out. Then shortly later a guy dressed niced walked up. They shook hands, and exchanged baggies. It was funny seeing it go down. I managed to snap that picture. Oh, if you're wondering they're just wild mushrooms. That people buy up like crazy in the area. It's still fun to imagine it being a drug deal though... right?
Well by the time Jacob went to his thing. Damon and I had nothing to do. So I took Jakes car, and we rode around town. We ended up stopping at a big lots. Where we decided after seeing some real cheesey rims. To pimp up his car. We went all out, bought a shag pink rug, girly things for the dash and these rims which I spray painted pink.

There he is, enjoying some of the beads we got him. He's our little princess!
That's a random shot of the burlington bridge. The river was up while I'm there. Apparently it's really flooding now.
Here's Jacob striking a pose before his ceremony.

Theres a few shots of the class. I took them while I walked in the building with Damon.
After his graduation. We eventually got together for his family party. Which was at his sisters apartment in town.
Yay cake!
