#40 Old Fashioned Road Trip

Route 66 in Missouri

This motor court was built before the fifties, but it was in prime use during that special decade that I'm celebrating!  Our stay felt pretty authentic, although it would have been a lot move fun had we been traveling in a '57 Chevy!  Then we could have parked it in our own little carport, which came with our room!  I'm not sure how common TVs were in motels in the 1950's, but we didn't have one. Instead we enjoyed the evening listening to some tunes on a vintage radio.  We didn't even mess with our cell phones or IPads. Instead we chatted and read and wondered about Clark Gable. Our host Donna claimed the movie star had stayed in our very room when he was in the service!
