Dates!

by admin on June 16, 2009

Trip is tentatively scheduled around the Labor Day holiday - beginning to mid September.

So far in the planning we have:

  • purchased half a dozen books on the history and current layout of Route 66.

  • Become AAA members, which came with turn-by-turn directions and maps of each state we’ll be traveling through.
  • Been saving our pennies! Like good little tourists, we hope to shop and spend locally on our trip.
  • Learning how to use our cameras. B Dad more than me, but I will be learning, too.
  • Read other online blogs and account of Rt 66 trips from tourists and locals.

If you’ve taken a trip like this, how did you plan? Anything we should do now?

Welcome to Our Travel Blog

by admin on April 11, 2009

We are a husband-wife writing team.  The purpose of this blog is to capture the planning process, the trip, the photography and the writing for our trip on historic Route 66.  We have three young sons who fell in love with “Ornament Valley”, “Radiator Springs” and the beautiful vistas and cars from Disney-Pixar’s Cars movie.

This trip has been inspired by three little boys, a Disney movie, old favs on the radio, one dad’s love of photography and one mom’s love of writing.

We hope to collect the process here.  Afterall, this trip is just as much about the journey as the destination.
