Jack-in-the-Box

When I was in high school, I had some friends, Daniel and Lauren, who were both from California (or had lived in California at some point). They would always talk about this awesome fast food restaurant called Jack-in-the-Box that had a cool little antenna topper. So of course, 5+ years later, on my road trip through the northwest of the U.S. (see the previous post), I made sure to stop at a Jack-in-the-Box and I definitely made sure to get the antenna topper.



Of course, once we left the restaurant, I realized that my Jetta has one of those short, fat antennas on the roof, thus I don't think that Jack will fit on there well. So I put it on Jeremy's beetle when we got back. It is inside now, though, because I had to fly 3,000 miles to get it and I don't want it to blow away in these crazy thunderstorms we've been having! Who knows when I will be on the west coast next.

Eating there reminded of Daniel and Lauren, both whom I have not seen in a while. I have great memories with both of them and am so thankful that they were in my life. It is ironic that I thought of Daniel this past weekend, because he got married on May 30^th! I got to see the pictures because my good friend Stacy was their photographer. Many congrats to Daniel and his new bride!

P.S. I just looked at the Jack-in-the-Box site and it looks like there are locations in North and South Carolina. Maybe they will be coming to Maryland sometime soon!
