Merry is excited to be travelling the famed Route 66, also known as The Mother Road. On her first stop at the State Capital, Springfield, she not only visits the historic sites associated with Abraham Lincoln, but she also meets a new friend who introduces her to a hobby that will add a dimension to her trip. But will Mattie also change the dynamic of Merry’s journey with her surprise proposal on Merry’s last night in Springfield?
