Route 66 – Day Eight – Amarillo, TX to Santa Rosa, NM
Today was an easy driving and rest early day! Hunter woke me at 7:50 which I don’t think he has ever slept that late! Off we went through Amarillo again and past The Cadillac Ranch to our first stop, The Milburn – Price Culture Museum in Vega where both Hunter and I got to use…

Route 66 – Day Seven – Clinton, OK to Amarillo, TX
Before leaving Oklahoma, we stopped at two super cool Route 66 Museums and stopped into meet the inspiration for Mater…I knew he was a character, but I was not expecting the 30 or so bikers inside the shop nor that he’d be singing. We stayed for a few minutes and continued on into Texas where…

Route 66 – Day Six – Tulsa, OK to Clinton, OK
Slept in a bit since our first attraction, Buck Atom’s Cosmic Curios, didn’t open til 10:00, so we finished up Tulsa on our way to the shop for our passport stamp. Next we hit The Rock Cafe in Stroud, OK. Pixar based Sally on the owner, so we HAD to eat lunch there! The Interpretive…

Route 66 – Day Five – Carthage, MO to Tulsa, OK
Hunter woke two hours before the alarm this morning, and we couldn’t leave Carthage until 9:00 when the visitor center opened, so we stopped to have breakfast. Hunter has Hamburger Steak and Eggs…I feel like I don’t even know him. We hit the Visitor Center to get the stamp for our Route 66 Passport which…

Route 66 – Day Three – Springfield, IL to Sullivan, MO
Our Day of Confusion Up and at ‘em at 7:00am, leaving the hotel we made our way out of Illinois…only it wasn’t that easy. The map sort of turned in on itself and in order to see the World’s Largest Catsup bottle (and it pains me to spell it that way), we had to double…

Route 66 – Day Two – Pontiac, IL to Springfield, IL
After a little bit late start, after I almost melted down cause I couldn’t figure out the $40 app I bought to navigate this bad boy …I was opening the wrong app… we drove into Pontiac…a seriously adorable town filled with murals, museums, and adorable little art cars (I know grammar on that sentence was…

Route 66 – Day One – Chicago, IL to Pontiac, IL
Day one is in the books… The only negative of the day was that it took forever to get the car rental because O’Hare Airport has literally the worst signage you’ve ever seen. After finally getting in the car and parking next to the Shedd Aquarium, we walked down to The Route 66 Start signs…
