The Ivory Family's Route 66 Vacation

I hatched the idea of traveling along old US Route 66 a few years ago, while traveling in Arizona, particularly Flagstaff. I think that was the first time I realized there were sections of Route 66 that were well preserved. My interest had been growing since, and I finally convinced my wife the time was right to make the trip.

Susan, Kaitie, Mimi, my niece Tomi and I flew from Seattle to Detroit on Saturday, July 15, and bought a new minivan in Detroit on Monday, July 17.  We left Detroit on Tuesday, July 18.

You can follow our progress in the pages listed at left. Each link represents one day.

All of these pictures were taken with a Nikon CoolPix 990, which I think I can now highly recommend, especially with the wide-angle lens accessory.  I resampled the hideously large (3.3 mega pixel) images to a more manageable 640x480.
