Well, we survived our first day of driving with a 2 1/2 year old and 5 year old strapped in car seats. We drove through the hot Mojave dessert, had lunch at the McDonald's in Needles, CA which by the way was our only stop. We made it to Winslow, AZ in time for dinner. The clerk at the Holiday Inn Express where we are staying highly recommended the Turquoise Room at La Posada hotel. And it was worth it, I ordered the 'Killer Vegetable Platter' since everything else was just too much meat for me. And it was delish! Not just a bunch of veggies, it was southwestern style vegetables with spice. Apparently La Posada is a famed hotel, must have really been something in it's heyday when Route 66 still existed, it had pictures of all the famous people and celebrities who had stayed there such as Bob Hope, Shirley Temple, etc.
Now we are off to Amarillo, Texas. Hopefully today will go as well as yesterday!
