Route 66

So, here we are in Shawnee, Oklahoma, right outside Oklahoma City. We have stayed entirelyon Hwy 40 which is the new Route 66, with freeway exits to travel the actual Route 66 road if you wish. Mostly we've stayed on the FWY except to get gas we've travelled the old road. Which it is, old!

We have seem alot of country these few days. We were so exited to stop in Williams, Arizona and visit the Grand Canyon. The kids were excited about seeing it than actually seeing it. I think that is called the "pooh" syndrome. The way Pooh likes the anticipation of eating the honey more than the act itself. Anyway we took the train from Williams to G.C., I definately recommend it. Other highlights were: lightening in New Mexico, bought illegal fireworks on an Indian Reservation, stopped at "Cadillac Ranch", "The Legs" and "Largest Cross" all in Texas. We have had a lot of "gotta be there moments" as a family and lauging more than yelling. If you have travelled at all with more than one kid in the car you know what I mean.

Well, tomorrow we plan to drive 400 plus miles to Memphis, gonna see The King's pad (Elvis' Graceland). We are excited about it and are trying to pump it up with the kids. We may even stay the night at the "Heartbreak Hotel"..oh, yea. We are going full throttle tourist on this one! Should be fun!
