Today we started with breakfast in our wigwam. I went to the grocery store before Jerry woke up and brought back banana nut muffins. We went to this one store and bought a whole bunch of petrified wood for souvenirs for everyone. We took a few more pictures in Holbrook then we were on the road.

We stopped at Geronimo Trading Post

Not to shop, but for a photo of the world's largest piece of petrified wood.

Then we went on to find the Jack Rabbit Trading Post. Jerry and I each took our pictures sitting on the large jackrabbit.

We then went into Winslow, Arizona, where we took a picture of the mural "Standin' on the Corner" (portraying the scene in the Eagle's song "Take it Easy").

 

We stopped for lunch at the Falcon in Winslow.

We went on to see Meteor Crater, Arizona.

We then went on to Williams, Arizona. We were both anxious to get out of the car.

Williams, AZ

We went to the Route 66 Magazine gift shop and bought all the back issues of the magazine. Now we can read about the places we've been! We had dinner at Cruiser's Route 66 Cafe and Twisters ice cream at Route 66 Place. We drove around town for a while before turning in for the night.
