Day 16

Time to get driving!

Since we were in New Mexico, we drove through Santa Fe. We noticed most of their buildings look the same or very similar.
We wanted to make it to Amarillo, Texas to see the Cadillac Ranch and The Big Texan (the place that gives you a free 72 oz. steak with all the fixins if you finish the meal in under an hour).

We were looking for the Cadillac Ranch because it didn’t have an address or anything. Turns out, it really is out in the middle of a field off of the highway. Jon and I got some spray paint and headed out to the cars! We painted a heart and put our names inside. Then Jon found some yellow spray paint and painted “Boiler up!” on one of the cars. We were lucky enough to have a group of people take our picture while we were there.

Then we went to The Big Texan. We decided to eat dinner there. We had a very odd waitress and an odd experience all around. The meal was pretty big, but probably not worth it to go back. Maybe one of those things you should experience once in your life. We did get to sit in a giant rocking chair as well.

After our Big Texan meal, we drove all the way to Oklahoma City.

We got to our hotel checked in and decided to see if the Sonic next door was open. They were open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so we walked over and got some drinks.

Tomorrow: St. Louis
