Aww I love what you did with the 'diner'. It's so cute! I wish we would have come! Jordan would have loved it!
Coney dog restaurant is here in my hometown as well as the man that had the original hippy van that was used in the movie Cars. We have a lot of activities based on the old route 66. We eat catfish on friday nights at the route 66 cafe.

Now you're hitting my homesick button. I'm from Amarillo. And yes, I have entered the 72oz steak challenge at The Big Texan. And no, I didn't come close to finishing. Fun to become a permanent part of folks vacation videos, though.
Nice job.
