Tucumcari Tonite, baby!

One of our favourite stops on our roadtrip is definitely Tucumcari, maybe it was the motel, maybe the s'mores, maybe the breakfast diner, or driving around watching the neon lights at night. Anyway we loved it. We stayed at The Blue Swallow Motel, an iconic hotel on the mother road, it is authentic yet comfortable and at sunset they light up the fire and prepare s'mores for their guests. We had some beers in the vintage seats in front of our room and relaxed a little. Olivia loved the dog Bessie at the motel and was running after him the whole time. Throughout the city there are some beautiful R66 themed murals too. A beautiful example of mainstreet usa.
For breakfast (after donuts and coffee at the motel) we found the cutest diner with good food and iced coffees before hitting the road again...
Off to Santa Fe, New Mexico!
