This post backtracks to give some details of our day in Texas.
The kids woke up Sunday am in Shamrock, Texas. Before we left town, we had to visit the U-Drop-Inn which was the inspiration for one of the buildings in Disney’s Cars movie. The kids debated whose building it was, Flo or Ramone. In the end, they decided it looked like Ramone’s, but had a gas pump like Flo. Our apologies to those who aren’t Cars fans, but this was what “introduced” our kids to the famous Route 66. David requested we stop by an off-the-wall museum. Being Sunday am, it was closed, but he was content to see the outside & get a picture (I’ll let you see the picture.)
Though we did not eat at the Texan Restaurant, we stopped just for the photo opportunities. The giant cowboy boot was a hit with the kids.
Two of our favorite Texas field trips were the Cadillac Ranch, where 10 Cadillacs are half-buried in the ground, and the Midpoint Café in Adrian. Adrian, TX marks the middle of Route 66 and the Midpoint is rumored to have the best pie in the country. David & I decided the burgers are also the best. The five of us split 3 desserts, chocolate chip pie, lemon meringue, and triple berry cobbler. How were they? We hope to make it back by on our way home; enough said!
