We're a six person homeschooling family--complete with one 62 pound "puppy" and two grumpy part-Siamese cats-- on a cross-country pilgrimmage to a new brand new life (in the dead of winter). Come along for the ride! Is there a Starbucks near here?

Route 66 Stop--"U Drop Inn" Shamrock, TX



Here's a flag pic of the kids at the "U Drop Inn" in Shamrock, TX.

This building has been lovingly and beautifully restored and is a shining example of Art Deco design. It used to be a Conoco station as well as a restaurant and Greyhound Bus station.

I met a charming docent when I visited and enjoyed talking with her. She told me they had received a federal grant to help with the renovations. If only more of the old Route 66 memorials could be so well-preserved!
