Oklahoma Adventures, Part III: Route 66 (West)

This weekend we took a spur of the moment trip down the Historic Route 66. We traveled west through Weatherford, Clinton & Elk City. Two of our best friends, Mollie & Josh came with us and we had such a good time. Unfortunately, a lot of our lessons didn't have pictures to go with them so I'm sorry!

Oklahoma Adventures, Part III:

The things you learn on westbound ROUTE 66



1. El Reno smells like farts

2. I have family in El Reno.

3. This is what Weatherford considers "restored"

And then we realized that it always looked like crap

4. Lucille's Roadhouse might not have the best service or onion rings

BUT they were fancy with their Dyson Airblade and heated toilet seats.
(The chicken, sauce, rolls & mashed potatoes were delicious though)



5. Josh really loves seasoned salt

6. Molly is a Griffis!
The book at the Route 66 Museum says so!

7. The Indians @ the Cherokee Trade Post watched over us

when our tire went out going 70mph on I-40.

8. Small town tire places are fast and they're really nice.

So thank you Gene @ K& S Tires in Clinton, OK.

9. Dogs love me everywhere I go.
If you are ever out that way, you should check out the White Dog Restaurant
It is beautiful and rustic and heart warming. Plus you'll get to see the happiest pups in town.
Meet Beans:

 

He was moving so fast it was impossible to get a good picture
but he gave me an instant bath of kisses when he saw me

10. Blizzards from Dairy Queen are amazing.
But I'm still too scared to hold them upside down.
This was my first DQ experience & it was a good one!

11. The Hampton was nice but still had it's ghetto quirks

They don't know their own address (the address on the confirmation is Ramada's address)

The fridge didn't work so this is how we cooled our drinks

12. Josh is a free spirit.

I have no clue what this means but it apparently meant something to him.

13. Coconut rum with cranberry juice & sprite is amazing.

14. Oklahoma's grass has turned into Ireland's countryside.

It's so beautiful right now.

15. Semi trucks love us.

We got several to honk for us.


  

Things we learned that didn't get a photo: 

• Ryan has an alter ego named Rude Rectal Ryan and he hates hippies
• Josh is a Juggalo and Mollie & I are princesses
• Clinton loves Ron Paul
• Elk City doesn't have a Taco Bell but they have a Maurice's?!
• Body builders can swim in freezing pools without any hesitation
• Limos will follow you if you make them mad

Our final destination was Elk City which is kind of funny because we didn't actually do anything there except see how ghetto it was! It was a successful trip and I can't wait to go East on Route 66 next time!
