Gettin’ our kicks on Route 66

Taking a side trip to Route 66 was a great idea. We were able to pick it up in Illinois where the Polk-a-Dot Drive In has been serving burgers and ice cream since 1959. 

The stop was particularly poignant for Zandra. Growing up, her dad regaled her with stories about driving Route 66 in his TR3 convertible with her mom in the 1960’s. He was thrilled to know that we had been planning to ride Route 66 the year Z turned 50. Sadly he passed away in 2014 and for a variety of reasons our plans changed to do this Sisters’ Ride so it was perfect that we could combine the two.

Here’s Tina and Z goofing around under the Gemini Giant on Route 66. Appropo, as both are Geminis born in 1966.
