Route 66 Illinois Family Road Trip Part 1 #shorts

#shorts
A couple of years ago we drove the old historic Route 66 from Chicago Illinois to Albuquerque New Mexico. We tried to visit every major stop along Route 66 that was a landmark or historic Route 66 point of interest.

Our daughter was barely 5 years old, and about to start school. So we packed our stuff, got our dog ready to go, came up with a rough schedule and bought some Route 66 tour books, and then hit the road.

We never booked hotels until halfway through the day. We didn't know how far we'd make it each day, or what we'd find. So we played it by ear. It was the best way to do it. We found so many random amazing places and had a great time. Since then, we've done a couple more longer road trips, and have done them the same way. Never set a plan in stone. Go out and find your adventure.

This video isn't so much of an educational or informative video, but more of a montage of our trip. I love filming everything and everywhere we go and love to edit. Hopefully, everyone likes it as much as we do.

If you ever have a chance to take the Route 66 road trip, DO IT!

Thanks for watching! If you like this type of content, it'd be awesome if you could subscribe and maybe even share the videos. We're having a blast making these videos, and have a lot of stuff planned coming soon.
