We didn’t quite make it to Sedona today. We left Holbrook, AZ and continued down Interstate 40 West with a couple more stops on Rte 66 along the way.
First stop was the Wigwam hotel. Roadside kitsch at its finest. The sign out front asks, "Have you slept in a wigwam lately?" a throwback to the time when entrepreneurs went out of their way to find something unusual with which to lure travelers. Vintage cars parked around the premises were the perfect accent to a great photo op.
Ever since I plotted a loose itinerary, I wanted to stop thru Winslow, AZ. As we were taking our photos, I can only think that someday in the future Jack & Tyler may make this same trek out West. I can imagine them holding up the photos I am taking now of their 9 & 11 yr old selves doing the “Young me, Now Me” photo op at all these places! see here http://www.zefrank.com/youngmenowme/
We bottomed out the RV and a metal plate that protects the propane heater got bent out of shape. We decided it was best to get it checked out and we needed an oil change as well. We spent the next couple of hours at Campers World…good news is we got the scheduled maintenance done, tires checked, and the piece of metal is stable and can wait to be repaired when we get home.
We decided to just stay in Flagstaff for the night and grab a bite to eat at Black Bart's Steakhouse, Saloon, & Musical Revue which is right at the RV park.
It was very convenient to leave Scout all buttoned up in the RV and walk the 30 steps over to the restaurant. The only time we eat out is if we are either (A) desperate or (B) it is something unique and fun. This was definitely a (B) This was an experience. Waitstaff randomly perform on stage in a musical revue, including songs from Broadway, Disney, 60s and 70s, and much more in between waiting on their tables! Before dinner even arrived, the waitress brought over hot biscuits with a honey, cinnamon butter that literally melted in your mouth. So much fun!

Love the pic of the boys laughing (wish I knew why). Sounds like your having a great time still. One of my favorite places in Arizona is flagstaff. It's gorgeous out there. When I went in February, there was snow. And when you are driving in the dessert, you see so many sand tornadoes. They are pretty cool. Speed limit 75 but everyone does 95 unless you are in an RV from NH that is. lol I also saw a lot of burnt trees, assuming forest fires. I love the sunset pics. SO beautiful!!!!
ReplyDeleteOne of them probably farted...LOL...driving into Flagstaff was amazing with this huge mountain looming in front of us for miles and miles...
ReplyDeleteI am envious of your trip along Rte 66. Your journey is bringing out the Jack Kerouac in all of us. Black Barts...... 9am and now i want steak.. .ggrrrrr
