Route 66 Road Trip Day 1 - Chicago to St. Louis

Embarking on the great American adventure from Chicago to Los Angeles along the Mother Road, the Main Street of America, Route 66. It's finally happening, and my brother Connor is tagging along to make this experience all the more memorable.

This is Day 1 of our road trip along historic Route 66 beginning in the heart of Chicago and driving the backroads of Illinois. Due to car issues and closing out my apartment, we left a little later so couldn't highlight as much as I originally intended to on this day but still having the experience of a lifetime nonetheless.

This journey is partly happening because I have moved out of my apartment in Schaumburg, IL; a place I've lived for almost 9 years and moving out west to Phoenix, AZ.
