 Pat had the idea to do a cruise on Route 66 in Illinois with some of our Route 66 friends. We started from the Luna Cafe in Mitchell and headed north on 66.  With Pat and I were:  Randy and Melody, Kent and Mary Sue, Marge, Fran and Dolly, Denny, Shellee and her son Trevor, Kip and Quinn, and Jane

"I Gotta Bead", soda fountain (yay!) and coffee emporium.  It was closed as we went by since it was a little late in the afternoon Saturday, but I think I'll make it a point to go there sometime!
