True Americana along Route 66
Are you a member of the Silent Generation or the Baby Boom generation? If you are you may remember the Route 66 that took you on a trip through the panhandle of Texas and the other states from Illinois to California. Now you can relive those days on a historic trip on the old Route 66.
Born between 1927 and 1945 the Silent Generation was influenced by WWII, the Great Depression and the Cold War. During these years the trips to the west coast were on Old Route 66.
The Baby Boom generation was born between 1946 and 1964 when the primary influences were the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War and the assassinations of the 1960's of Dr. King and President Kennedy. This generation tends to be achievement-oriented and willing to give up personal time for get ahead. This generation should take the time to travel the roads of the great United States and enjoy seeing the array of small towns, large cities and meet the people that make up this great nation.
You can start you family vacation going from Illinois to Missouri, then on to Kansas and Oklahoma and Texas, now you enter New Mexico, Arizona and end up in California. The Route 66 will give you a chance to see the heart of America and meet some of the people that make this country so great.
You will either begin your trip in the Chicago area and then end in Los Angeles. It gives you the opportunity to see such places as the Arch in St. Louis, the smaller towns along the way and the middle sized towns such as Springfield and the wonderful people of Missouri. Kansas will take you to Galena, Riverton and Baxter Springs with all the history of these communities and all there is to see. Tulsa is a great place to stop off and take a tour of this beautiful city. The hospitality will certainly leave a warm place in your heart. Here the people are so nice they actually stop to let a car enter the stream of traffic from a parking lot!
When you leave Oklahoma and enter Texas you will get into Amarillo. Here you have the opportunity to visit a wide range of western based museums and learn about the settlement of this region of the state. Route 66 in New Mexico takes you across the entire state beginning in Tucumcari and ending in Gallup. This area of the state offers you an opportunity to see the beautiful city of Albuquerque. Take the time to visit some of the museums in the city, learn about the Native American culture in this area of the state and see their beautiful artwork. Then you are entering the state of Arizona and on to California with all that it has to offer. What a fabulous family vacation. - 2368
