Getting our kicks on Route 66

After a couple of Days rest, we're back on the road. We made a stop in OKC to get the normal "tourista" information and then it's on to western OK to see some of the few remaining areas of the famous Route 66.

This gave the girls a chance to burn off some excess energy - except Emi decided it was too hot to play.  I have to agree with her.  The temp at the bank across the stree was 92!

 

 We had to buy some souvenirs!

After a few few more miles (!) we finally made it to some of the Route 66 sites.

this is Lucille's - one of only 2 of it's kind left along the road.  It opened in 1929 and was run by the same woman (Luclille) for more than 50 years!
















Wish I could find that price today!






























The gas pump girls!

Emi says she is soooooo cool in this picture.

















Dinner at the diner.

On the road for our Summer Adventure

We headed out on Tuesday for our summer "adventure" with the little ones.  We're on our way - slowly - to Colorado!

We will spend nine days camping at the US Air Force Academy once we get to CO.  An opportunity to visit with some of the best friends anyone could ever have. 

But first we will wind our way there trying to avoid some of the normal stuff.  That means getting off the interstate and driving some of the "dotted roads" that Donna loves so much!
