Route 66 ends (or, for those traveling east, begins) at the Pacific Ocean, specifically at the intersection of Ocean Avenue and Santa Monica Boulevard. In Palisades Park, a bronze plaque marks the spot. Dedicated to Will Rogers, it reads, "Main Street of America, Highway 66, was the first road he traveled in a career that led him straight to the hearts of his countrymen."
A block away is the Santa Monica Pier with plenty of attractions for kids. We spent the afternoon at the pier, eating corn dogs and riding the Ferris wheel. My kids were most impressed with the man who can "write your name on a grain of rice." Unfortunately, our budget didn't allow us to buy such a novelty.
