There are road trips.... and there are Route 66 Road Trips!
Taking a road trip is fun. It's a right of passage. It's making memories and it's the American way! Whether you are driving off in an old beater with some good friends, going on The Bunny Run with your honey or loading up the family for that long awaited cross country trip, taking a road trip is something everyone should do.... and do often!
Taking a road trip along Route 66, however, is much more than a road trip. It's a homage to American automotive history and those who have enjoyed the experience before us. The original Route 66 ran from Chicago, Illinois through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona before ending in Santa Monica, California.
We could go into the history of Route 66, but we'll let you do your own research there. What's more important to us is the romantic aspect of traveling Route 66 with your honey and making memories to last a lifetime. Taking a road trip along Route 66 means you and your honey get to enjoy an adventure together, learn a little about our nation's history, spend quality time together and in essence, go on a multi-state treasure hunt looking for anything and everything associated with Route 66.
From signs along the road, old cars near the road, tokens and gifts at various stops and making memories along the way, this really is one adventure where the destination is virtually irrelevant and the most important aspect is the journey along the way. Checking out the stores, meeting cool people, visiting various diners and doing whatever your heart desires is what a Route 66 road trip is all about. This trip is more about discovery, learning about each other and keeping an American tradition alive.
For those of you setting out on your own Route 66 road trip or at the very least traveling down parts of this classic American highway, send us a picture with any reference to Route 66 and Bunny Up and we will give you a shout out on social media and send you free gear!
A picture of a sign and decal, a note while eating in a diner, a Bunny Up pose in front of a landmark or whatever creative picture you come up with. We would love to see and share your experience and we hope you plant the seeds of passion within yours kids. Maybe, just maybe, they will learn to enjoy the experience, make wonderful memories and carry on the tradition with their own friends and family in the years to come. We can only hope!
