It's Time To Cruise… Again?! Saturday, October 18th!

Our new cruise directors are setting the bar high! Due to the fact that our fall cruise landed early on the calendar they have added a bonus cruise to end our 2014 season right! This time we are going to be doing a fun one day event to cater to everyone and offer some contrast to some of the multi-day cruises we have had this year.

This cruise has us exploring the historical Route 66. Route 66 is the most famous road in America. Generations of travelers have romanticized this highway as a symbol of unlimited mobility and freedom of the road. Its iconic status is enhanced by the unprecedented volume of music, books, films, and other art forms that depict it as the essence of America's highway culture. There are tons of museums and shops that keep the history alive!

Our day will begin in Schaumburg where we will meet at our usual spot. From here we will head over to Joliet and start our Route 66 adventure. We have several places to stop and check out along the way including the Route 66 Welcome Center, the well-known Texaco Station, and a very cool tour of Pontiac, IL. We also have some great meals planned to keep us satiated throughout the day. Our day should wrap up and have everyone heading home around 7:30. Just in time to get the kids to bed! This should be a fun relaxing cruise and a great way to end the year with our Viper friends.
