Today was mostly a driving day...we left Holbrook, Arizona (and the Cosy Cone Motel) and passed through New Mexico on our way to Shamrock, Texas. A couple of hi-lights from today..
1. We stopped just outside of Amarillo, Texas at the famous Cadillac Ranch. It is 10 different Cadillac cars buried in the ground and you can spray paint on any of the cars...They now sell spray paint at the entrance but if you walk up to the cars, there are lots of spray paint cans you can use...we left our mark as we always do...
2. We drove to Shamrock, Texax (east of Amarillo) and we found two awesome things...we found the U-Drop Inn Gas Station (The movie Cars used it for Ramon's paint shop) and we found a small piece of the of the Ireland famous Blarney Stone...Kim and I have been fortunate to see and kiss the original in Ireland but it was still pretty cool.
3. Our hotel, The Shamrock Country Inn might be the biggest surprise of all...old school but super clean and quant...definitely reminds me of some of the motels that I used to stay in with my family in our old car driving vacations...
