We woke up in Clinton OK, We had breakfast and then we went to the Route 66 museum. It was really interesting! After the museum - we headed west to the Washita National Battlefield. We stopped there and became junior rangers there! After got lunch on the Texas/Oklahoma border and then headed into Texas! A new state for all us us - We drove all across the panhandle of Texas - it's pretty flat! We stopped for souvenirs and snacks in Amarillo and then at Cadillac ranch! A true Route 66 landmark! Then it was on to New Mexico! There are parts of Texas and New Mexico that only have 1 house every 20 or more miles - boy those kids must have a long bus ride. Dad decided to take a break based on a billboard in Tucumcari, New Mexico! At a Dinosaur Museum - What great stop it turned out to be! After that it was back in the car AGAIN... We stopped for dinner in Santa Rosa, New Mexico at another iconic Route 66 diner - with the neon and everything just like cars.. Finally it was on the Albuquerque! We got there and our hotel was on the 16th floor! It was 12 hours in the car but we got to watch a lot of movies and eat a lot of CANDY!

| We played this really really interesting game at the museum - about living in the dust bowl and trying to figure out what to sell, what to take and how much money we needed to get to california - we made all the right choices and made it! |
