Road Trip Time!
by Amanda on March 9, 2010
Just as I started to get excited about blossoms and leaving the house without a coat, The Canadian and I have decided to take a road trip into the deep, still wintry woods of British Columbia.
- Polaroid SX70/SLR680 for snowy Polaroid love
- Yashica FX3/Nikon FM3A because I can’t just take one camera
- Compact digital for happy snaps
- Film for loading
- iPod for road trip singalongs
- Book for sitting in coffee shops and watching the world go by
- Awesome beanie with pom pom
- Woolly scarf
- Michelin man coat with furry hood
- Après-ski- ha! I just really wanted to say that. I think I will say it as much as I can for the next 3 days.
- Playing in the snow
- Shopping
- Shooting
- If The Canadian has his way….a ski or snowboarding lesson. Not likely.
I of course will bore you to death with photographs upon my return so look out! I’ve read twice in the past 2 days that a road trip is great for firing up the creative juices. I think there is something really cathartic about road trips. The road ahead, the adventures that will likely occur, the new characters that you may meet..all part of the road trip merriment.
Before I wrap myself in layer upon layer, I wanted to thank our little Mocking Bird community for all the great dialogue going on in the comments yesterday. I love that we can enjoy those types of conversations through blogging. Check out the comments from yesterday’s post if you missed it. There are some really inspiring thoughts. Thanks lovelies.

Joel, going to pick up some film now. Polaroids were a bit of a bust. Too snowy!
