Day 1 on Route 66
Well, our first day on Route 66 was a blast. We picked up the route in Joliet Ill., and stayed on it most of the way to St. Louis. We stopped in Odell at a restored Standard Oil station and took a picture of our truck next to a classic gas pump. In Pontiac we stopped at the Route 66 museum for a while. Then in Atlanta we got a picture of a Muffler …

Saturday 9-17-2011 St Louis
I tossed & turned last night. I was awake off and on most of the night – excitement, worry, and sadness over knowing tomorrow we would be leaving my baby – Simon – the world's most spoiled Yorkie – for 19 nights.
