Swansea/Oatman/Route 66 ~ February 9-11, 2007

Traditionally we like to take a Valentine’s Day trip, and since Valentine’s Day was on a Wednesday this year we decided to go on the weekend before. We’d been wanting to visit Oatman and the ghost town of Swansea for a long time, and ever since getting the Pixar “Cars” movie for Christmas, we’ve been interested in Route 66. So this was going to be our ghost town/Route 66 trip. While it may seem like ghost towns and Valentine’s Day don’t really go together, we did visit the honeymoon suite of Cary Grant and Carol Lombard, plus we got to drive through the town of Valentine, AZ!
