On our way from Michigan to Illinois, we thought we'd stop at 2nd & Main Coffeehouse in Niles, MI, but we did not end up going that route. In Granger, we discovered Caffeine & Cream, which is a coffee and ice cream shop.
I got a Butter Pecan Caramel Latte. Dad got a coffee. Mom got a Cold Brew + Sweet Cream.

Since we didn't have time to go to the grocery store and make the last barge on our way up to the cottage last night, we went in to town on the first barge this morning. Of course, had to stop at Savage Bean Coffee on our way to the grocery store.
Dad got a Flat White and I got a Black Tie Latte (blackberry & dark chocolate).
Nora got a lemonade and we got Mom a Cold Brew with vanilla.

Driving Route 66 through Tulsa, we stopped to take photos of the Meadow Gold sign and ended up spending over an hour exploring the Meadow Gold District.
Near the Meadow Gold sign is Meadow Gold Mack. There is a gift shop nearby that we went in to get a sticker and found there is an Oklahoma Route 66 Passport to get stamped at various Route 66 places in Oklahoma. While there is only one page for the Meadow Gold District, different shops have different stamps, so we decided to visit some of the other shops nearby to get more stamps.
Next we stopped at Buck Atom's Cosmic Curios on Route 66, which has some giant statues including Buck Atom and Stella Atom. Dad says we'll have to visit again next year because they are getting some more giant statues.
We then stopped at Decopolis Discovitorium, which is a magic/sci-fi gift shop as well as art deco musuem.
Before returning to the car we walked a few more blocks to check out some of the various murals.

Location: Lodi Coffee (Summerville, SC)

This morning Dad and I just went for a quick trip to CVS to use my $2 Extrabucks to get some popcorn and ended up in Summerville, SC because for the past few weeks I had been half-heartedly tracking Switch 2 restocks and it was the first time I noticed any showing up in South Carolina. Since I had left my coffee untouched on my desk thinking we were coming right home, we ended up getting some coffee in Summerville. Yes, we also got the Switch 2 and we did get the popcorn at CVS (and then got some Bubly because it spit out another Extrabuck reward).
Lodi was a well set up drive through only coffee shop. Dad got a Dirty Chai and I got a Peanut Butter Blossom (it seemed under the Latte menu, but their mochas also were and I think this was a mocha...it was good if it was supposed to be a mocha). The Bean Burrito I got was also good.

As we hit the road again, we stopped at Caliber Coffee Co.
I thought it was an easy choice for me to get the seasonal PB&J Latte, but then Dad noticed on their regular menu there was a Butterbeer Latte. I couldn't decide on one or the other, so I ended up with both. Dad got and Oat Milk Flate White and Mom got a Smoky Mountain Cold Brew (oak barrel cold brew with salted caramel & touch of half & half...usually it is with bourbon caramel, but they were out of that).

Today's pick was whatever was the closest coffee shop by the KOA.
I got a Spring Blossom, Mom got an Iced Strawberry Rose, and Dad got the Music City Latte.
Of course, being Nashville, there was various country music photos and objects on the wall.

We meant to go through Arkansas from Tulsa to Nashville, but I accidentally selected the avoid flash flood warnings route and we did not notice I had directed us to a coffee shop along a different route that took us through Missouri until it no longer made sense to change which way we went. Thus, we ended up at Eastside Coffee, which is interestingly located inside part of a tire shop.
They had probably fifteen different speciality coffees to choose. I got The Heartland (Bourbon Caramel, Butter Pecan Honey, Caramel). Mom got The Okie (Dark Chocolate, Caramel). Dad got the Spicy Pennington (Dark Chocolate, Vanilla, Cinnamon, Cayenne).

Location: Route 66 Road Fest Mini Golf, Tulsa, OK
We partly visited the Route 66 Road Fest to help get ready for planning to do Route 66 next year, but biggest reason I wanted to go to the Route 66 Road Fest was that I noticed it had mini golf. It was very much worth it even just for the mini golf as even though it is short holes, it has a good variety of obstacles and fun Route 66 themes. It is also the cheapest paid mini golf we've ever played at $2 a person (even if you include the $7 military price of our admission to the Route 66 Road Fest, $9 is among the cheapest cost for a round of mini golf).
