cars

we just got home from a fun evening at the Heinen's.  it was our Route 66 Road Trip kick off.  samantha made chili and muffins and we watched the movie Cars.  nellie brought us our very cool shirts that she bought for us {thanks, nellie}.  the evening was almost perfect....we just needed gina there!

i've seen the movie cars several times, but i've never watched it from the perspective of 'the mother road'.  it's a great movie by itself, but it's kind of sad when you think about all the little towns like radiator springs that really did close down when the interstates were built.

it makes me excited about our trip next saturday!  can't wait to see all the little things from catoosa to arcadia that were/are part of historic route 66.
