St. Louis & The Mother Road
This short four day features St Louis, as the largest city on Route 66 between Los Angeles and Chicago. You’ll spend a day with sights to the north and another day touring the south, you learn of history and life on what Steinbeck called “The Mother Road” in his vivid portrait, The Grapes of Wrath. You hear about Americana, family vacations, early tourist marketing as tap your toes to Nat King Cole’s “Won’t you get hip, to this timely tip, Get your kicks on Route 66..”
Chicago Defined The Jazz Age
Chicago, the city that arguably defined the Jazz Age, Prohibition, gangster wars, flappers and boom times, thrived and survived the ’20s. And like the rest of America, it started the decade like a giddy adolescent, grew up in 1929 when gang wars built to a bloody crescendo and the stock market crashed.
Cubs, Peaches & Field of Dreams
The greatest baseball trip ever. Chasing the memories of two movies. First base is “A League of Their Own” about the All American Girls Baseball League. Second base is a visit to the “Field of Dreams.” Then you round Third into Chicago for a Cubs Game at Wrigley Field.
