Route 66

After Bearizona, we drove around on old Route 66 thru Williams, AZ. We had lunch at Cruiser's Cafe Route 66. Unhealthy stuff like milkshakes, huge portions of appetizers and dinner. We had way too much food left over. Driving home tomorrow, and as Jasmine says "back to the oven"!

Right now, Jasmine is watching Rachel Ray cooking show! I'm not sure where she gets this cooking interest!!! It's definitely not from me. Every time the TV is on, she has to watch some type of cooking channel, "Mexico plate"- or something like that, "Somebody's Vietnam"-- a Vietnamese cooking show, and many others. I try not to let her see the channel when I am wanting to watch something because she will yell "stop, stop, stop... I want to watch that!!!"..

Bearizona in Williams, AZ

Our plan for today was to explore/goof around in Flagstaff all day today before driving home tomorrow....but... Flagstaff was invaded by Arizona Cardinal people coming to watch the Cardinal Camp! I don't get the attraction, but apparently many people are interested in watching that. Flagstaff turned into Los Angeles made up of people with Cardinal shirts on. We were originally going to go to Lowell Observatory to see the planets thru a huge telescope, the pioneer museum, and Northern Arizona Museum. Maybe next time. We skipped town and drove to Williams which is about 30 miles west of Flagstaff. There is a new place that just opened up last year called Bearizona. It is kind of like a safari where you drive into different locations to see the bears, wolves, bighorn sheep, bison, etc. Then they have a separate area where there are many other animals in more of an enclosed area... pre-school and kindergarten bears, bobcats, peacocks walking around,... and... we went to a raptor show. The falcons swooped down on people just missing their heads.

Next we drove around Williams looking at potential camping areas for future trips. We didn't really see any that fit our "criteria"...i.e. a shower!!
