Seattle Road Trip

Seattle Road Trip Video Diary, Whidbey Island Trip

As I shared last week, we took a road trip to Washington to visit family over Labor Day weekend. We had so much fun. We rode the Mukilteo Ferry, took long beach walks and found several agates to add to our collections, ate amazingly delicious food (Village Pizzeria, Ivars and/or Molly Moon's anyone?), toured downtown Seattle, and spent quality time with my family.

I captured the best moments of this trip through a video diary—my favorite way to share my story. I feel like seeing life through my eyes says so much more than a single photo and words ever can express. You get raw emotions (3:51—ha!), hilarious dancing (if you're watching one of my videos, anyway), outtakes & bloopers (with my family, there are always a lot!), and a whole different perspective that delves into each scene and moment in time. You also get to see just how much we love each other. Watch the video & dance along to two of my favorite songs below.



See more photos from our trip here. I'd love to know, what's your favorite shot from the video?

This looks like a blast!!! I have Seattle on my "must visit" list for whenever I make my way to the West Coast again. It has been so long so I've been past...New Orleans. Ha!

Aunie said...

Gosh that looks like so much fun!

Aunie said...

I love watching trip recaps like this! It definitely adds a different dimension that pictures can't. I've always wanted to make one myself, but wouldn't even know where to begin.

Aunie said...

I loved this! I love the bond that is clearly evident between you and your sister I love that! I just love you :)

Aunie said...

Aunie, thank you so much for sharing a bit of your trip with us! Loved watching the video and seeing how happy you all seem to be just by being together =) Also, I've now added Seattle to my places to go list ;) Have a wonderful week!

Speaking of New Orleans, I'm going to be down in Mississippi, super close to LA, in Oct - Dec. I think I'm going to try to make it out there! Is it cool? :P

Aunie said...

It sure was! Thanks Krysten!

Aunie said...

Do you have iMovie? I make all my videos there... it's SO EASY!

Aunie said...

Thank you! We have so much fun when we get together. It's truly a pity we don't live closer. We used to go at it so much as kids. It's so nice to have her as a friend now :)

Aunie said...

Oh Sofia, you'd just love it. It's a lot like San Diego + San Francisco if you've ever been there. I looooove it, though I usually don't spend too much time in downtown Seattle. Thank you so much for watching it!

Aunie said...

Oh girl, yes. Definitely try to head to NOLA if you can. It is a truly magical place of culture, music, history and delicious noms.

Aunie said...

How wonderful is THIS?
Iove the video - especially around the 1 minute mark - I giggled.

:)

Aunie said...

Doing it! Thank you!

Aunie said...

LOL - our dancing skills are unparralelled. We are such dorks. Did you see the butt jiggle at 0:45? We are weirdos.

Aunie said...

I love all the pictures! I'm headed to the west coast (Oregon) next week to visit my best friend, and I'm so excited for all the scenery! And to actually experience a REAL fall unlike what we are having here in Texas. *coughEXTENDEDSUMMERcough*

Aunie said...

Thank you, Natalie! I've never been to the Oregon coast. I've heard so many great things. Hope you have a really nice time!

Aunie said...

Looks like you guys had such a fun time. I loved this video it was a cool way to get a peek into your life :)

Aunie said...

Thanks Brittany!! I'm hoping to do more in the future... so glad you liked it!

Aunie said...

So much fun! Looks like you guys had a great time! I love Seattle and hope we get a chance to move back out there at some point!

Aunie said...

It's so nice :) Glad you like it just as much as I do!
