Earlier this year my wife and I finally decided that we needed to go and pick up the car that my father-in-law gave us. It was a great adventure and we followed old route 66 for much of the trip. We drove through Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and finally to Flagstaff, AZ. As you might imagine it was interesting with a 5-month old baby, but he was very good and it turned out to be very memorable for all of us. Some of the more interesting places we stopped was “Pops” outside of Oklahoma City (they had hundreds of varieties of soft drinks) and a little hot rod shop in Tucumcari, NM. We spent some time in Flagstaff. On the way back we stopped in Santa Fe. Of course I was towing the car back on a U-haul trailer so that slowed the pace down considerably, but my truck seemed to be up for the challenge. The way home took us back through New Mexico and Oklahoma, but this time up through Kansas, then on to Missouri, Illinois, and finally back to Indiana.
