𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗢 𝗧𝗨𝗟𝗦𝗔 🇺🇸🛣️

Another stretch of Route 66 and plenty of interesting stops along the way!

⛽ Gary’s Gay Parita — one of those classic Route 66 stops packed with old signs, cars and Mother Road nostalgia.

🏛️ J.M. Davis Arms & Historical Museum — a huge and very unusual collection of historic fi****ms and other artifacts.

🐋 Blue Whale of Catoosa — one of Route 66’s most recognizable and quirky roadside attractions.

🎨 Tulsa — exploring the murals and the historic Meadow Gold District, with plenty of Route 66 character around the city.

🌳 Gathering Place — a massive riverside park and a completely different side of Tulsa. A great place to walk, explore and take a break from the road.

Tulsa gave us a mix of classic Route 66, history, street art and modern city life. 🚘🇺🇸

Chicago really surprised us — we loved this city! 🤩

Sitting on the shores of Lake Michigan, Chicago is famous for its incredible skyline, architecture, river, waterfront, food and big-city atmosphere.

We explored the Chicago Riverwalk, walked through downtown, saw the famous Bean at Millennium Park and enjoyed the mix of skyscrapers, parks and water everywhere. 🌊🌆

Chicago is also known as the birthplace of the skyscraper, home of deep-dish pizza 🍕 and the starting point of historic Route 66. 🛣️

What a city to start our Route 66 adventure! 🚘🏁
