Time with family

This afternoon we arrived in St. Louis where our daughter Trisha lives.  After spending some time catching up she took us out on the town to two unique and famous Route 66 eating places.  The first one was the Eat Rite Diner.  This 10 seat diner has been around for decades and has served thousands of hungry Route 66 travelers.  Their speciality is 6 hamburgers for $6.60.  Their slogan is "Eat Rite or don't eat at all."  We got there just before the baseball crowd and had a nice visit with the cook.  She even let us go behind the counter and be honorary cooks.  The food was great and the place is amazing. We left there and headed for the next stop, which is another icon for Route 66 travelers- Ted Drewes frozen custard.  WOW!  That place has been a St. Louis tradition since 1929.  It was fantastic and after the burger and frozen custard we went back to Trisha's apartment and acted like the beached Blue Whale we saw in Catoosa a few days ago.
