Day 4: Springfield, Missouri to Oklahoma City
Some days on Route 66 are longer than others, and driving all the way from Springfield, Missouri to Oklahoma City was a trek. However, it was also a really fun day on the Mother Road, starting out with some explorations of Springfield itself. A city with a long and impressive history, visitors can find signs of that past all around the historic downtown, including plenty of Route 66 related stops.
One aspect of the drive that made it a little unusual was our brief foray into Kansas. Route 66 only runs through a few miles of the state, but they’ve done their best to show off what can be found in the 15 minutes or so drivers are there. From a “Cars” themed stop to a gorgeous arch bridge, I quickly found myself liking the state. But most of the day belonged to Oklahoma, starting off with flatlands before ending up in hilly forests. Giant Blue Whales, delicious burgers and some of the nicest people I’ve met so far on the drive, Oklahoma has been very good to us.
Since it was such a long day of driving, I was thrilled to check into the gorgeous Aloft Oklahoma City Downtown – Bricktown. This trendy, design-forward hotel was just what I needed to help me not only get some work done, but relax and recharge for the next day.
Friday is another long day, but it should be just as fun as we cross the border into Texas and spend the night in Amarillo.
