On March 19, 2011 the following gift was given.
On April 29, 2011 the adventure begins.
Pop, Happy Birthday to you on your 65 + 1.
It's time for partying, presents, and lots of good fun.
Our gift to you has been years in the making;
There's been pondering, planning, and anticipating.
We've spoken not a word outside our family four;
Just dreaming and scheming for three years or more.
It's a whole lot nostalgic and requires 10 days;
It spans eight great states and over 2,000 miles along the way.
The trip is exclusive, only father and son -
Ernie 2, Ernie 3, and we'll reminisce about Ernie 1.
A flight to Chicago will begin this great trip,
Then onto the “Mother Road,” not one town will we skip.
We'll go through St. Louie, Joplin, Missouri, Oklahoma City, it will be so pretty.
We'll see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico, Flagstaff, Arizona;
We won't forget Winona, Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino.
On day 10 a flight from California we'll take,
All the way back to SC, our home state.
The tour of “America's Main Street” complete,
But memories forever will be ours to keep.
Don't you dare say, “This is too much. You can't do this.”
Because we did just do it and you are priceless.
Embrace it, accept it, and let's go get our kicks
On a spectacular father-son adventure of Route 66.
