A Dynamic Duo Chronicles Their Route 66 Adventure Through Illinois

Recently, Laurence and Jessica Norah from the UK traveled the length of Route 66 from California to Illinois. Now, that in itself is exciting – but there’s a little something extra about their trip. Laurence is an award-winning photographer and his wife Jessica,  an award-winning travel writer; they combined their talents to chronicle their trip on their blog.

Many of the Illinois Route 66 attractions we treasure are featured. Their appreciation for the Mother Road and its history is evident. Their story is sure to make you want to get out and explore 66 – again or for the first time!
