After mentioning our near cross-country road trip last week, you might be wondering how we passed more than forty hours behind the wheel. We captured a lot of that time with our trusty Flip video camera, and last weekend we edited the footage into a short musical montage — a road-trip-on-steroids highlight reel.
If you’re curious enough to join the ride, here’s what you’ll find in the video:
- Some questionable drive-thru food choices
- A little behind-the-wheel dancing
- Grade-A nerd behavior in the form of a geography-based driving game
- Sherry sharing a bed with another woman (all in good fun)
- Essential Burger footage
- Exactly zero footage of Sherry driving (it didn’t happen)
- Fast-food–inspired decorating ideas (we’re not vouching for taste)
- Sherry with her hair down — yes, for those asking why she doesn’t ditch the ponytail
- Visits to so-called cultural attractions — fine, one was a Pottery Barn Outlet
- A teaser of our time with the Bowers and highlights from my cousin’s wedding, which we’ll post more about soon
So, without further ado, enjoy the virtual road trip below.
While we’re at it, we’d love to see your summer adventures. Any memorable road-trip stories? Photos posted somewhere we can view? If you’ve created a road-trip montage in iMovie or another editor, please share — long live long drives!
