The boys did learn something from all the hotel breakfast. See, up to this point, I have pretty much made the boys believe that cereal is better dry with your milk in a cup, with a lid. You know, keeping the messes in check. Well, now they have decided that cereal with milk on top is actually better. Oh well I think six years is a pretty good run.
We pretty much all agreed that New Mexico had the prettiest scenery of all the states we drove through. Just gorgeous.
For lunch we stopped in Holbrook, Arizona to eat at Joe and Aggie's.
The place was frequented by the Pixar folks when they were making Cars and they were apparently so inspired by this place that Joe and Aggie's receives a credit at the end of the movie.
Now the place is old and isn't anything fancy, but the food was good and the owner (maybe Joe's son?) was so nice and wanted to chat it up about Cars and Pixar. There was a BBQ festival going on across the street so we were able to walk around and grab a bag (or 2) of cotton candy.
To finish up our Route 66 tour we stopped in Sigelman, Arizona, but the boys were convinced it was Radiator Springs.
We stopped a Lake Mead just before our hotel and while it was a sight to see, but it was so hot it was unbearable. Colin just marched back to the car and demanded a drink. I agreed.
We checked in and by this time the travel, dramatic changes in altitude and desert heat was starting to have an effect. Everyone drank some gatorade, ate some In N Out and headed to bed. And bonus, while in bed we could hear the Foreigner concert going on at the Casino across the street. Like well enough for Jason to serenade us with "I Want to Know What Love Is" and "Hot Blooded." It was pretty hilarious and we were to tired to let the noise distract us from sleeping.
