  • One night in Boulder City, NV–Tucson for Christmas trip

    One night in Boulder City, NV–Tucson for Christmas trip

    We visited Boulder City in December 2023 as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Boulder City might have been the biggest pleasant surprise of our Tucson for Christmas trip! We went there specifically to see the Hoover Dam and were delighted to find such a cute town. Also delightful: our campsite, with a spectacular view of…

  • Mammoth Cave National Park

    Mammoth Cave National Park

    We visited Mammoth Cave in December 2023 as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. We couldn’t resist picking up another national park (our 40th!) while in the vicinity: From Knoxville, it was a pleasant 3.5-hour drive on smaller roads to Mammoth Cave National Park in south-central Kentucky. On a Monday in December, we had…

  • A week in Key West, FL–Florida in January trip

    A week in Key West, FL–Florida in January trip

    We were in Key West in January 2022, as part of our Florida in January trip. Our week in Key West might be the longest we’ve ever camped in one place, other than when we lived in the Airstream for six months. We figured we should stay awhile since it’s so far away, and because…

  • Two days in San Antonio, TX–Winter Warmth trip

    Two days in San Antonio, TX–Winter Warmth trip

    We were in San Antonio in January 2021, as part of our Winter Warmth Trip. In all our gallivanting around Texas, we’d never taken the Airstream to San Antonio. We’ve seen Austin and San Antonio as an either/or, can’t stop at both, and we love Austin so much that it has always won. Well, it…

  • Two nights in Fargo, ND (visit #1)–Big Trip #3

    Two nights in Fargo, ND (visit #1)–Big Trip #3

    We were in Fargo in late August 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Read about our second visit in 2022 here. Fargo is a fun town! We mostly went for the beer, which will surprise no one. J has lots to say about that below. But we also enjoyed our riverside campsite in a…

  • Trip planning: Quick Southeast lollipop in January

    Trip planning: Quick Southeast lollipop in January

    This planning post was for a trip down through the Southeast to New Orleans in January 2020. Needing to be in Atlanta in January is a good excuse to un-winterize the Airstream and spend a couple weeks in warmer climes. Here’s what we’re thinking for maximizing sunshine, nature, food, and drink: As you know if…

  • Two days in Lexington, KY–Big Bend Loop

    Two days in Lexington, KY–Big Bend Loop

    We visited Lexington in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. I am a horseperson. Not a literal horse-person hybrid (although my mom might disagree with that when remembering the behavior of my 12-year-old self), but someone who since age ten has loved horses almost as much as dogs (come on, nothing…

  • Five days in Charleston, SC

    Five days in Charleston, SC

    We visited Charleston in March 2017 while full-timing in the Airstream in Virginia. Charleston is a beautiful and interesting city, full of history, culture, and great food and beer, and we look forward to a return visit… but without our tin can house so we can stay in town! As is the case with campgrounds in…

  • Three days in Bardstown, KY–Big Trip #1

    Three days in Bardstown, KY–Big Trip #1

    We visited Bardstown in June 2016 during Big Trip #1. We interrupt this beer-soaked narrative to bring you a brief tale of bourbon. Bardstown, in the heart of Kentucky bourbon country and with five distilleries of its own, is called the Bourbon Capital of the World. Even if you quit drinking bourbon in college (yep, that’s…
