The Platt Corp of Discovery: The Beginning

We began our trip packing on Monday morning, July 1st.  Finishing up last minute packing was exciting as we headed off on our trip.  As we began our drive near the beginning of Route 66 we were to be on the old historic route.  We reminisced as we drove by our previous year’s vacation spot, St. Louis. 
 We stopped out side the city at a McDonald’s, excited to be on our way.  Heading down to Springfield, MO we saw some beautiful hills and trees in the Ozarks. 
Ending our first days drive at Route 66 Best Western, we were excited to spend the night at a hotel, where Elvis stayed, as we anticipated a month of camping. 
Waking up the next morning we were able to look around and see all the historic Cadillacs the hotel had and were able to take our pictures in them. 




It was fun, but we were not at our first destination.  On to Oklahoma we went, stopping in Tulsa, OK to see our dear friends Mary and Jerry Johnson. 
They took us to Coney Islander and gave us a tour of their home church.  The kids loved the kids’ area and we took pictures to show Joe.  8)
