Our Adventure Begins

After over a year of planning, our bags are packed and we are ready for a mother/daughter adventure!
Not only am I excited about what lies ahead, I am thrilled that my daughter wants to spend 10 days in a car with me!!

For me, this trip actually started years ago with my dad.  My dad, like me, was raised in Oklahoma
and he was passionate about history.  It didn't matter what it was...Civil war, WWII, old west or
Indian history...he loved them all.  But he really loved the history of Route 66.  Of course, it helped
that Route 66 ran  through our little home town in the corner of Oklahoma. 

My dad always talked about driving the entire Route 66...all the way to San Diego.  I think he hoped in retirement he and mom would make that trip.But years passed and his health made the trip impossible.
So even though dad is gone now, I know he will be in the back seat loving every minute.

This trip is for you, dad.
