1:10
highly recommend if you do a road trip
1:12
is get off the freeway and the
1:14
interstate occasionally and just take
1:16
some of the little smaller roads and
1:18
just see what's out there but alas now I
1:21
must get back on the interstate and
1:24
start heading towards Amarillo cuz

8:06
Texas Ladies If you're looking for that

9:47
Shrubbery the roof's caving in
9:47
too
9:57
wow they have a museum dedicated
9:57
completely to barbwire and
9:59
fortunately it's
10:07
closed that might look familiar to you
10:07
classic Route 66 architecture I haven't
10:11
seen a Radio Shack in years Shamrock
10:23
Texas check out the Blarney Stone
10:23
Plaza the Blarney Stone imported and
10:27
erected in 1959
10:29
dedicated March 17th
10:32
1959 and there it is right there the BL
10:34
Stone aren't you supposed to kiss this
10:36
thing or
10:37
something I don't know I'm kind of shy
10:40
I'm kind of
10:41
shy I neglected to think about the
10:43
Summer sun on the stone that was
10:47
hot I just booked a room here at the
10:49
Shamrock country end and I honestly
10:52
think I might be the only one staying
10:53
here tonight
11:11
ah Route 66 you can't go wrong
11:13
especially when what you are staring at
11:16
is something that rings a bell and for
11:19
me it does ring a bell in fact fireworks
11:21
are going off right behind me over there
11:24
just within a few blocks of this
11:26
historic Route 66 location and as cool
11:30
as this is it's kind of a somber moment
11:32
for me because there are fireworks going
11:34
off throughout the
11:35
neighborhoods and then there is this
11:38
which reminds me so much because it was
11:41
used as the inspiration for Ramon at
11:45
DCA California Adventure cars landed
11:48
Radiator Springs not only in the Cars
11:50
movie but also when you go to Disneyland
11:54
the other Park DCA this right
11:57
here it it's crazy to hear the fireworks
12:00
thinking I'm at Disneyland I'm not at
12:02
Disneyland I'm in
12:04
Texas makes me a little
12:07
homesick even though I don't live there
12:09
anymore I don't have a home but anyway
12:12
Vlog over Hidden Mickey wait a second
12:15
wait wait wait wait wait
12:25
wait Hidden Mickey you seriously got to
12:25
remind yourself this is not DCA
12:29
really
