Thank you so much for watching! We’re so glad that you liked hearing the backstory of these places, they were just so interesting we had to share! -Cody

Thank you so much for watching and for leaving this comment! We truly put our heart and souls into this video, so I’m so glad that you loved it! We’re excited to share some upcoming adventures in Utah! -Cody
LOVE!!!! Keep the long videos coming, it’s like getting to travel with you two!
That’s exactly what we were going for with this one! As always, thanks for watching!! -Cody
Now that the video is out. Made my daughter’s day meeting real you tubers. Nice to speak at the water park. I am curious about the Polaroid? Thank you for the photos of us at the gate.
Your daughter made our day asking us if we were RUclipsrs! We definitely don’t feel like we’re there just yet but we’re giving it a go! The Polaroid came out amazing!! This Sundays video, we sit down and tell the stories behind each of the 66 Polaroids we took and that is certainly a favorite! Thankful that we bumped into you guys that day! -Cody
This was an amazing video. Love the long form content! The travels were cool. I felt like I was there with you! Thanks for sharing🤩
Thank you so much for watching and for this comment! That’s exactly the vibe we were going for on this one, we wanted everyone to experience it like we did! We appreciate your support! -Cody
Hi Cody and Jillian, just come across your channel. We’re thinking of travelling the route in 2026 hiring a RV from Chicago to Santa Monica.
We also have a similar dog like Cliff. Our dog is called Obi and is a 4 year old cavapoo.
Will avidly watch your videos for inspiration. Take care. Jamie in the UK.
Jamie, we’re so glad to found our channel and that you are a part of our community! You have to do the trip in 2026, Route 66 is AMAZING! We’ve been traveling the USA full time since September of last year and the Route 66 road trip was some of our best memories of this whole adventure! Thanks again for all the positivity and tell Obi that Cliff says hello! -Cody
This was randomly recommended to me on my feed, and I really enjoyed this video! :)
So glad you watched our Route 66 video! Out of our 10 months of full time travel in the van, this was one of the best weeks we had! Thanks again for watching and leaving us a comment! -Cody
interesting video! loved it!
Awesome..looks like so much fun. I love the volcano hike with Cliffys ears flapping. But i bet you know what my favorite part was.. the 🫏 donkeys. I wouldn't have wanted to leave.. oh and love the bottles trees. I wanted to do some of those in the backyard with the bottles we have found but hasn't happened.. lol.. love ya❤
We knew you’d love the donkeys in Oatmen! We had no idea that they were truly mean to dogs but they made it very clear don’t bring the dog near them! Maybe you can start a bottle tree ranch in Maine lol! Thanks for watching, love ya! -Cody
@CodyandJillian oh if I had the land I would so do that and a big rock garden to go with it. Lol
Great video!!! I want to go on Route 66 in Arizona now!! I know you will love Sedona (I did) but the nostalgia of Route 66 was so cool!! ❤️
Route 66 was so much fun! We felt like we were able to slow down and take it all in! We absolutely LOVED Sedona! The energy there was amazing and the views were beautiful any way you looked! Thanks for watching!! -Cody
This one had me laughing out loud and then sitting with tears in my eyes. The whole one-wheel in the water park segment (reminiscent of the shots in front of the desert Prada store) is hilarious. Think I saw a bird zip in front of Cody's head! Respect on how you both handle the stress of cabinets emptying and of being a bit lost or taking a wrong turn. (See me Flash) Also, I just ordered the 'Cars' CD! Not sure the cliff jump into the water or Cody laying in the middle of the road for a photo shoot would have been safety officer approved. (insert laughing imogee here) but I know Grammy is keeping her eye on you and keeping you both safe. Tears? no idea where you find your background music...... "We'll go together on this open road" Arms wide open sweetest people... KACHOW!!!!!!
Thank you for watching!! The waterpark is something that we will never forget and yes, you did see me almost collide with a bird! That was my first lap around the lazy river and I think we scared each other lol! The cliff jump and the laying in the road… definitely NOT safety officer approved! Jill found all the music for this whole video and it’s from a subscription service for copyright free music but she finds the best ones! Thanks again for watching, we love you! -Cody
Dear Jillian, dear Cody, dear sweet Cliff, thank you so much for taking us with you on your journey. I have enjoyed every minute of it - yes, please, longer videos! The legendary Route 66! How amazing! What an adventure! (Coffee first hehehe) You all three are so cute. I am always looking out, when you post. I was watching the whole video. I was doing the same with my husband: "Czech republic, Czech republic...ujiii Slovakia, Slovakia!" hihihi :) Cannot wait for the next video! P.S. Tiny spaces are cozy and cool! I love the idea with the Memory book and the Polaroids! How cool!
I absolutely love this video. You stopped at all the places that my family would love to stop at. I really felt like I took a trip down route 66 with you so thank you for that. And I'm really excited about Sedona because that is also in my bucket list.
Thank you SO much!! This is the best complement you could give us, that's exactly what our goal was for this video! We were going for "elevated home video" that made it feel like we were bringing you along for the journey! I'm not sure if we will get a chance to film a video in Sedona, we ended up using 3 out of our 4 days here working on this video but maybe some Shorts from our adventures! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave us this comment! -Cody
Love it.❤ please do more.
Thank you so much for watching!! We are working on planning a southern Utah road trip as we speak! Hope to talk to you in the comments of future videos! -Cody
This was an amazing video!!! My husband and I drove a short distance of Route 66 when we went to Las Vegas and Grand Canyon on our trip to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. It's a must see. Thank you for letting us join you on this amazing adventure. Can't wait to see what's next.
Thank you so much for watching! What an amazing way to celebrate your 25th! We loved how it felt like you could slow down and enjoy the road for what it is, really one of our favorite stretches of our journey so far! Thanks again for watching! -Cody
Great video! On my bucket list
This was on our bucket list for so many years and it truly lives up to the hype! I really hope you get a chance to experience Route 66! -Cody
Jillian & Cody: the movie! Kachow! Love the super super long form. MORE MORE MORE!
We honestly loved this format, I think this video is going to change the way we travel for the rest of the trip! Thank you so much for watching! -Cody
Always having a backup to find your way on the Route without signs is a good idea. Fun trip guys!
We had such a blast on Route 66, one of the highlights from our year long road trip so far! Thanks for watching!! -Cody
Woah I don’t normally comment but I just wanted to say I’m shocked this has under 1k views! This feels like it should have a lot more!!
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave us this comment! We put a TON of work into filming and editing this video and we were hoping for it to reach a wider audience but the people who have watched it, really seem to enjoy it which brings us a lot of joy! Thanks again for the support! -Cody
Amazing. Thank you for taking us along to see places I would never see otherwise.
Thanks for coming along for the adventure! That is exactly what we were hoping to achieve with a video like this! Thanks again for all the support! -Cody
The best I've seen like to take the trip
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave us a comment! We had such a blast on Route 66! Can’t wait to finish it someday! -Cody
It’s your bro Jill I love this keep it going you guys are killing it love you guys miss you two but longer vids are better have fun be safe
Love and miss you so much! Thank you for all of your support, you are the best!!❤️ -Jill
Only town I drove on RT66 was Williams Arizona. Neat town. Drove from Vegas to Grand Cannon to Sedona to Phoenix Arizona. Trip of my life.. Im up North East Connecticut boring state cant wait to move out of here.
Route 66 was one of our favorite parts of our whole USA roadtrip! That sounds like an amazing roadtrip that you had as well. We are up in Maine so not far away! Thanks for watching and leaving us a comment, we appreciate it! -Cody
Did they build the option B Mosque in Kingman yet??
Thanks so much for this video! Headed on this route later this week and want to make some of the same stops. I'm loving the song at 1:10:55 and can't find it anywhere. Can you share the title and artist?
We hope you have the BEST time on Route 66! We've been on the road for 8 months and this week of travel on Route 66 has been a huge highlight of the trip! We get all our music through a copyright subscription service called MusicBed and that song is called "On Our Way" by Mike Mains! Let us know how you like Route 66! -Cody
Starbucks is not customer friendly to van owners. Mine is 10’3” tall and the drive thru only would make me look for a Peet’s or other coffee vendor.
Definitely not friendly for vans but we don't mind going in to get our caffeine fix for the day! Thanks for watching and leaving us a comment! -Cody
What type of Polaroid did you use?
Thanks for watching!! We used the Polaroid OneStep+ although now I’m addixted to taking Polaroids, I’m considering trying out their new I-2 camera with full manual controls! -Cody
Williams Kimberly Taylor Kenneth Lopez Margaret
Vegan, that explains it
