A Trip Through Uranus




 We started getting “our kicks on Route 66” with a stop in Uranus Missouri. Walking into the general store, you’re greeted with, “Welcome to Uranus!” Claiming that “the best fudge comes from Uranus,” we bought Heathbar fudge and chocolate peanut butter fudge. The shop is full of punny gifts, vintage toys and Route 66 souvenirs. 



If you’ve seen the Disney Pixar movie “Cars,” you’ll know that it is dedicated to the legendary Route 66 or Mother Road. It was in 2000 that John Lasseter developed the idea of the movie Cars while traveling through the United States with his family. 

“Tow Mater” was inspired by a tow truck in the town of Galena, Kansas at a stop called “Cars on the Route.”

And then we weren’t in Kansas anymore…
