Happy Roo!
I'm grateful to report that not only did I survive six hours of Bonnaroo, it wasn't nearly as painful as I thought it might be. I stopped at TJ Maxx Friday morning to pick up a small wallet to go inside my clear purse and some snacks for the ride to Manchester since I didn't know how bad the traffic might be. I picked my daughter up from her dad's house at noon and was pleasantly surprised that we arrived an hour and 21 minutes later at Coffee County High School to pick up our parking pass via a newly paved five-lane highway that ran alongside a large brick sign that said "Welcome to Manchester" and "Paid for by Bonnaroo."
