You Get Your Kicks On Route 66

 The girls all had breakfast together the next day. They had so much to talk about. They loved their home away from home. "Just think we get to spend ten whole days here. No snow, no icy roads, and no comfort food! They all laughed because comfort food like chicken and noodles and pot roasts were a staple in the winter at home. Here the food was fancy seafood, plus they could eat anytime they wanted to too. No clocks to go by. Get up when you wanted and eat when you wanted. They decided that they would start the morning off by going for a walk to see some of the sights.


The girls went to a beach side cafe and did mention that Bonnie didn't seem like herself lately. "She is usually the life of the party when we go on vacation. Have you noticed that she is even talking more like a seafaring sailor than her usual conversation? She said something about going for a walk on the beach and maybe getting some grog and some sea biscuits for breakfast. What is going on with her?"
The other girls just laughed and said that they thought she was overdue for a vacation. After some rest she would be just fine.

Josie had turned down the invitation to go to the Pirate Parade and was enjoying the sun in her comfy pillow. She heard her ringtone on her little computer and went to see who it was. It was Chata inviting her to her party. She said that she was having music and entertainment. She was sure that she would enjoy herself. Well, Josie thought about it and decided that she would find a way to go because she was getting a little bored. She hadn't had a new toy or outfit for over a week.


Spencer had gotten an invitation from Chata to be the M.C. at her party. She knew that he was a good singer and dancer. Oh she was so excited and so was he. Spencer couldn't wait for the party. He loves music.


Out on the road Cowboy and his buddies and the hitchhiking lady had happened onto the old Route 66. They stopped for another rest break. The buildings were old and so interesting. Oh and the smells of the wonderful sandwiches that were being made made them all hungry. But before Cowboy could even get out of the pickup Blu reminded him that he needed to take his medicine for his itchy skin.
"What? No way! I am on my way to Florida. I don't have to put up with that stuff being poked down my throat. Yuk! I probably will get better when I get there. They have wonderful weather down there you know. Let's go look around and see what someone may have dropped that we can sample."


Bodie said, "You know you are supposed to watch your diet." Cowboy replied with a deep growl and jumped out to explore. "Wow! There is a wonderful smell coming from that cafe. Let's check out the parking lot and then get on our way." His buddies and the lady all agreed.

They all had found a good lunch and were back on the road. Cowboy looked in the mirror and said, "Hey guys look what we got behind us. You supposed all those folks are going to Florida? I heard tell those Jeep groups do good stuff for little kids too.. Blu said. "Ruff! I heard about them. They are kind of like those pirates. They raise money for human diseases too. I'm so glad we decided to go on vacation. Bodie agreed. They should make a song about this old highway. You get your kicks on Route 66. I sure am getting a kick out of it. Jim made a low growl in his throat in agreement. "Sometimes I do come up with a good idea." Then all four dogs howled in laughter. Vacations are so much fun.
