Yesterday, Joe and I took historic route 66 to Vega, TX. It is about a 30 minute ride from Amarillo. Route 66 stops in Vega and I am not sure where it picks up again. At the end of the route in Vega is Dot's Mini Museum. Dot's museum is an informal collection of Mother Road odds and ends accumulated by Dot Leavitt over the course of many years of living and working alongsideRoute 66.

Downtown Amarillo...we passed by here headed to historic Amarillo. |
Historic Amarillo is on 6th Ave. between Georgia St. and Western St. |
This is the entrance to the historic Route 66 in downtown Amarillo. 100 plus home grown, home owned antique shopd, bars and restaurants are nestled inside quaint architecturally unique buildings whose frontage is lined by trees, vintage lighting, and cobble stone sidewalks. We had lunch at the Golden Light Cafe. Best hamburger and fries EVER. It opened in 1946 and is still serving food today!
I love the Cadallac Ranch. Scott and I are hoping to drive on some of Route 66.
