Road Trip on Film


As most of you know, my husband and I drove cross-country from Seattle to New York last month. I've been finding it really difficult to sum up our trip, but I think this little video we made, most of which was shot from a moving car, offers a nice sampling. This is one beautiful country. Also, a buffalo family is the cutest thing ever.

    This is gorgeous. Someday, I'd like to do a cross-country road trip- it seems like a really inspiring adventure, and your little movie only makes it seem even more so.

    What a great video!! I'm so amazed!! :) The song is perfect :) And it really does look like a wonderful time, to travel across the country and see all these wonderful little things that make it such a great country :) That buffalo family is soo cute :) It reminds me of Oregon trail.
    Oh, how I want to do a cross-country road trip too!! :)

    That's a really lovely video. In hindsight, most road trips seem to be a big blur, so it must be nice to be able to re-live your journey. I definitely recognized the badlands and the black hills of South Dakota. My uncle has a cabin up there, so we've made the drive from Oklahoma a few times.

    So glad I found your blog!

    What a great video!!!

    (And side note - did you just make it in imovie and then add the song over it, or did you actually remove the audio? I've been wondering how to do that lately).

    So beautiful!!! I would love to take a cross-country trip at some point. The longest we have done was from New Orleans to VA Beach and my husband and I almost killed each other and called off the wedding! Ha!
