Staying on Route 66 on our way to Utah

Don't you love it when you take your car in to get it serviced just before you leave on a road trip and then you end up stranded in the middle of nowhere with a tired, hungry baby a couple of hours down the road?

Jiffy Lube is on Shane's blacklist these days after they apparently overfilled our transmission fluid causing smoke and bizarre car behavior as we climbed the hill into Flagstaff. We found ourselves stuck. Thanks to Joe's help, after a couple of hours, we got things temporarily figured out and drove slowly at the side of the road into Flagstaff to stay the night at the hotel Joe had found for us. It happened to be across the street from the shop we needed to get to in the morning. Despite all the complaints I could express, I will instead offer gratitude and thanks to Joe for taking care of us that night.

We ended up on Route 66 at the Travel Inn. At least we can say we stopped somewhere kind of historically cool, right? Oh yeah, and we can say we ended up safe, too. Thanks Uncle Joe!
