Gettin' Our Kicks on Route 66

Leaving Vegas we ran into bad traffic at Hoover Dam.  We were disappointed after sitting in all that traffic that we didn't even get a glimpse of the Dam as we drove over the bridge : (

We decided to take our time getting home and experience some things along the Mother Road - Route 66!  It was fun showing the kids where some of the inspiration for the movie Cars came from!

Conoco Station
Shamrock, Texas

Somewhere? in Arizona

 Walnut Canyon Cliff Dwellings
(just outside of Flagstaff, Arizona)

 Meteor Crater in Arizona
We decided the price being charged was too expensive just to see a big hole in the ground, so we didn't actually see it.  Hence, the frowny faces and thumbs down.

 Winslow, Arizona

  
The Wigwam Motel 
Holbrook, Arizona

Petrified Forest and Painted Desert National Park

Cadillac Ranch
Amarillo, Texas
We still have lots to see on the Mother Road, but this was sure a fun start!
