set to open tomorrow, the Inn at Boonsboro (MD) underwent a 2-year renovation by Nora Roberts and her husband, Bruce Wilder. A fire a year ago provided a temporary setback to the $3 million overhaul. the Inn has 7 rooms with a boutique feel that feature literary couples with happy endings, apparently a more difficult task than it seems. Says Roberts "Romeo and Juliet? Dead. Tristan and Isolde? Dead. Not happy. Dead, dead, dead. Rhett Butler and Scarlett? He didn't give a damn. You try finding seven of them." field trip anyone?
