Chicago - Joliet - Springfield - St Louis

---

After a sumptous breakfast we hit the road. First stop in Joliet to see the Joliet Jewel = Rialto Theater (1926).

We passed the Gemini Giant in Wilmington and had a banana milkshake at the Polk a Dot vintage Rte 66 Drive In.

In Springfield we visited Abraham Lincoln's tomb, we passed St Louis and entered Missouri to sleep over at the Diamond Travelodge near St. Clair.

St Louis
Did the highway overpasses around the St. Louis Arch give you guys any problems? A lot of people get lost going through there.

great photos and trip
These are great photos and trip plan. When in Joliet did you get to see the inside of the Joliet Jewel, the Rialto Theater had a stunning inside from 1926. Have fun drive safe.

Hi there, unfortunately we passed during mid-day so the theatre was closed!
