Day 2

Hey everyone!

Sorry I did not post last night... the hotel did not have a good internet connection.

Saturday, June 26th: When we stopped at our hotel there was an original 50's diner in the parking lot so we ate dinner there. The next morning when we left not very far from the hotel we stayed at there was a route 66 car museum and gift shop kinda thing and there was a display of a bunch of 1950's cars; which I am recently very interested in so I loved that! The one I wanted was a 1957 light blue Chevy. It was $50,000, I've got $49,850 to go!!! I also bought dice to hang off the mirror when I get it!

Then we drove for a while and just outside of Amarillo TX we saw random graffiti painted cars, which turned out to be so cool! It was a car grave. An artist stuck junk cars in the ground and made it legal to do graffiti there! That was really cool! I think it was called car-henge.

We had lunch in Amarillo, TX, at an original route 66 restaurant called Smokin' Joes. That was pretty cool!!

We also went to a rest stop that was really nice and it had a lot of things about route 66. And a museum that was a reenactment of when route 66 was original. We walked around the grounds and buildings outside as the museum had just closed for the night.

We stopped in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for the night.

Miles: 460 Miles

States went through: New Mexico, Texas (Amarillo) , and Oklahoma
