Iconic service stationcafe with an amazing art deco style building that glows in neon at night. This historic Route 66 location is our favorite service station in the U.S. We have visited here 3 times, as it is a Route 66 must see site. The cafe is known as a site Elvis Presley stopped and ate at in the 50s.

We were so excited to see that U Drop Inn was open on our St. Patricks Day Birthday weekend adventure. My husband, Patrick, has a St. Patricks Day and they surprised him with a delicious birthday sundae and sang happy birthday. The owners are super nice and I hope, if you are in the area you check U Drop Inn out.

Cafe with fresh homemade pies with people that are like friends running this business. In the iconic Conoco station. They allowed us to drive our RV, a refurbished daycare bus, up to the pumps and take pictures and wanted a picture with our RV, too! Thanks so much to them, as they made my husbands day!!
