Last Day on the Road

August 10, 2010
12 hours on the road

Our last official stop of our Griswald Family Vacation was Cozy Dog in Springfield, Illinois. Our return trip followed the Old Route 66 Road, and this restaurant is a historic Route 66 stop. According to the placards, corn dogs on a stick were invented here, and they hold the patent for some sort of corn dog frying device.



We paid homage to Route 66 and to corn dogs by each ordering a fresh, hand dipped delicious, deep fried meat on a stick. The fresh cut fries were also appreciated and enjoyed by all of us.



So we are now home. The Griswald Family Vacation is complete. Our dogs have been well cared for, our garden is still alive, and we are all happy to sleep in our own beds. It’s good to go on vacation, but it’s good to come home too.
