Day 2 - Road Trip 2015

GET YOUR KICKS ON ROUTE 66

We saw "The Largest Mound in the World" in OKC (who new) and then headed West!   

We did get our kicks on Route 66!  We stopped by Lucille's Famous Gas Station and then to the Route 66 Museum in Clinton, OK.   It was really awesome!  Small but full of great information - not very time consuming.  

We hit Dodge City, Kansas in time to burn off lots of energy in the pool!  

We are all big Gunsmoke fans at our house so it is only fitting that we are here.
A few years ago at the Ft Worth Stock Show & Rodeo an announcement was made that Buck Taylor was in the audience.  Sterling quickly proclaimed, "That is Newly!!".
Later, we all met Buck Taylor (Newly) and had pictures made.
He was impressed that our kids knew who he was on their own accord.

Hardly a day goes by without an episode of Gunsmoke running in our house.   We love it!
We even have a yearling filly (one year old girl horse) named Miss Kitty and a new colt (baby boy horse) named Matt.

We have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Taylor a few times since then and every time it feels like we are meeting the Queen of England!!!  Haha!!! He is a wonderful man and an amazing western artist.   

We plan to visit the museum here on our way out of town tomorrow...handing to Nebraska!  

I bet you have a particular song in mind for our road trip song of the day....Route 66??
Sorry to disappoint but the drive really brought on a different tune.

Road Trip Song Of The Day
Wide Open Spaces
By the Dixie Chicks

"Many precede and many will follow
A young girl's dreams no longer hollow
It takes the shape of a place out west
But what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed
She needs .... wide open spaces"
