Today was our third day driving on historic Route 66.
My best friend Leo and I left Chicago on Tuesday morning.
We are driving all the way to California for our summer vacation.
The journey has been absolutely amazing so far.
We spend hours driving down long, empty roads under a huge blue sky.
Sometimes, we do not see another car for a very long time.
The quiet scenery is so different from our busy city streets.
We love stopping in small towns that look like old movies.
People are always friendly and happy to share local stories.
This evening, we ate dinner at a classic American diner.
A bright neon sign flashed outside the old brick building.
Inside the diner, the seats were covered in shiny red leather.
The waitress served us thick burgers and cold, sweet milkshakes.
We played some old rock music on a colorful jukebox in the corner.
It really felt like we had traveled back in time to the 1950s.
Tomorrow, we will wake up early to cross another state border.
Leo is already asleep in the motel bed next to mine.
I am feeling tired but very excited for the next adventure.
I really want to see the desert mountains before we reach California.
Traveling on this famous highway is the best experience of my life.
