As a finishing treat, we all shared a coke float at the town's burger joint, still operating from it's original building over 60 years ago.
After driving an hour or so down Route 66 (passing the infamous Berma Shave signs) we came upon this cute 50's town of Seligman, AZ. They had all the decor and charm as if the road is still heavily traveled. The kids enjoyed seeing "Tow Mater" and "Doc" from the movie Cars.
While I was soaking in the historical stretch of highway, the rest of the family decided to stretch their legs and climb nearby rocks. What I see as a beautiful landscape, they see as a playground!
After passing Hoover Dam on the way to the Grand Canyon, we decided to take a more scenic route on Route 66. I remembered my dad's stories about the Old Mother Road, and how it was the only road connecting Illinois to California before Interstates were built. I just had to drive on it, then stop for a picture by the road sign.
