Road Trip

Today I was taken hostage against my will by Tony. He had a coat made by his favorite store in Boone where we went to college. They had contacted him recently to let him know it was in. He was just biding his time to catch me off guard to go.

The town has changed considerably since we were there. Today we drove over the road they put in over the place we once lived. It was hard to think that a place we called home at one time is now gone. But that's progress, I guess.

Boone holds so many memories for us. We were so young when we were there. We had no family and knew hardly anyone. Tony has a friend that he made where he worked that he has kept in touch with all these years. His daughter recently had a baby. We got to see her. Adorable.

It's hard to believe that 27 years ago we were in her shoes. Young, newly married, and a sweet baby girl. We never go to Boone that we don't walk down Jennifer's memory lane. She was such an adorable little girl and such a BIG part of our Boone journey.

Going to Boone is like going back to the beginning. Every time. It never fails. That's a road trip I don't mind, even when I have been kidnapped.
