It's not always bigger in Texas

We sadly said goodbye to Trisha this morning and got back on the road.  One of the stops for today was the President Linclon library and museum in Springfield.  I have never been to a presidential library or museum so I had no idea how long it would take.  As a result I did not plan too many stops today along the way.  However we did manage to squeeze in two stops that were well worth the time.  The first one was in Collinsville which is the he of the world's largest catsup bottle.  It was for a now abandon catsup factory started inthe 1940's.  After that we saw the presential museum which was well worth the time.  Then we saw another Route 66 site in Atlanta, Illinois.  It is a giant Paul Bunyon holding a giant hotdog.  Random-yes, but a unique Route 66 attraction.  We were not the only ones visiting Paul Bunyon today.  Three college students were there and asked me to take their picture with him.  In Texas we have a saying,"Everything is always bigger in Texas."  Well Illinois has us beat in catsup bottles and at least one other random item.
