We went to Chicago a lot when we were kids. The museums, planetarium, aquarium, and zoo were awesome.

mbanjo - Posted - 12/05/2012:  20:20:29

Is Chicago the end of route 66.......or the beginning?

DeanT - Posted - 12/06/2012:  00:00:31

I'd have to say beginning

mbanjo - Posted - 12/06/2012:  00:35:08

I'll be going backwards then....does that make a difference?

ErikH - Posted - 12/06/2012:  02:34:20

As long as you aren't driving backwards, I shouldn't think so.

dat - Posted - 12/06/2012:  06:28:28

I tried driving upside down once, that wasn't fun, ruined a good K-5 Chev Blazer

DeanT - Posted - 12/06/2012:  07:06:15

Does Australia have a route 66?

dat - Posted - 12/06/2012:  07:10:16

Alaina - Posted - 12/06/2012:  08:08:14

Does Sonic still have that deal on the Route 44s that every Thursday from 2-4 they are around 99 cents?

dat - Posted - 12/06/2012:  08:19:30

how many beers does it take to make the loop?

Alaina - Posted - 12/06/2012:  12:06:36

Depends on how fast you drive and how slow you drink

dat - Posted - 12/06/2012:  12:18:08

I ended up going to subway, 2 dollar 6 inch meatball sam-nich

Alaina - Posted - 12/06/2012:  12:19:05

I think it needs to be naptime now

sounds good to me, it's 70 degrees, the sun is shining and I have a full belly

Alaina - Posted - 12/06/2012:  12:26:50

I want one of these

 

mbanjo - Posted - 12/06/2012:  12:41:45

They look good    

Alaina - Posted - 12/06/2012:  12:42:40

It's an Ostrich Pillow. It fits around your head and has a cutout for your nose and mouth, but beyond that, you're in it. Looks incredibly comfortable

mbanjo - Posted - 12/06/2012:  13:11:15

Why do I never think of anything clever and so simple as that?

dat - Posted - 12/06/2012:  13:30:11

our old deer lease in Arkansas, it used to be a 3 beer trip from the front gate to the cabin, which was about 2 miles on the gravel/ dirt road

We don't have Sonic....................

ErikH - Posted - 12/07/2012:  02:31:07

There's one on the other side of town from me.  The first one to come out this way was about a 30 minute or so drive from me.  People were waiting in line for over 45 minutes to be served.  I waited until the novelty wore off.

DeanT - Posted - 12/07/2012:  07:31:00

We go there, because we can take the dogs out to eat with us

Alaina - Posted - 12/07/2012:  08:23:57

I got popcorn chicken, mozzarella sticks, and a cherry limeade. It was awesome!

mbanjo - Posted - 12/07/2012:  11:35:05

Did you see the dog driving the mini?

Alaina - Posted - 12/07/2012:  11:36:53

Well seeing as Charley decided to eat one of our Christmas ornaments last night (it was a Styrofoam one that looked like an apple) and stained his paws and our white carpet pink, he doesn't get to drive my car.

mbanjo - Posted - 12/07/2012:  12:46:19

But just think of the fun he would have........

DeanT - Posted - 12/07/2012:  12:51:52

My dogs are faster than most of the cars while driving in the city

Alaina - Posted - 12/07/2012:  12:53:51

Charley is fast for about the first three minutes. Then he gets slower and s l o w e r......and then he just sort of stops haha

DeanT - Posted - 12/07/2012:  15:22:08

My dogs go 45 mph... for about a minute

Alaina - Posted - 12/07/2012:  15:34:16

I know exactly what you mean

DeanT - Posted - 12/08/2012:  08:07:29

Our new little Shih Tzu runs, and her legs are a blur... but she only goes about 3 mph.

mbanjo - Posted - 12/08/2012:  12:43:38

I have a car like that 

DeanT - Posted - 12/08/2012:  18:21:29

My old station wagon takes forever to get up to 60 mph... it's tired.

mbanjo - Posted - 12/09/2012:  00:03:37

Tired old cars are the best though .......dont you think?

No good without tires.......
