Waterton Lakes National Park
We spent four days in Waterton Lakes in September 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. We love Glacier (it might be our #2 favorite national park?), and since I was a kid I had always dreamed of visiting Banff National Park. I didn’t know about Waterton Lakes, Banff and Glacier’s middle sibling. What an…

Three nights in St Mary, MT–Big Trip #4
We visited St Mary in early September 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. After super hiking in Theodore Roosevelt National Park and a subpar experience in Great Falls, MT, we finally landed in the Glacier area! We first visited Glacier National Park on Big Trip #3 in 2020, and the east side of the…

One night in Great Falls, MT–Big Trip #4
We visited Great Falls on Labor Day, 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Edited because apparently I’ve offended people: We were in town for less than a day, so obviously we don’t know the town at all or what it’s like to live there. This is a travel blog, and all I do is…

Two nights in Duluth, MN–Big Trip #4
We were in Duluth in August 2022, as part of Big Trip #4 We read about Duluth somewhere on a “best of” list–who knows where or when, but we throw things we read onto a master map, and when planning trips we consult the master map. So Duluth became part of Big Trip #4, connecting…

We were in Michigan City in August 2022, as part of Big Trip #4 From Streetsboro, or rather Cuyahoga Valley National Park, we drove north to our next national park destination. We stayed in Michigan City for the sole purpose of visiting Indiana Dunes National Park, one of the newest national parks in the US.…

Two nights in Streetsboro, OH–Big Trip #4
We were in Streetsboro in August 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. After our stopover in Fayetteville, we spent a couple days in Streetsboro to explore Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Our campground is on the very eastern edge of Streetsboro, and downtown Streetsboro doesn’t seem like anything special, no offense. The town of Hudson,…

Trip planning: Big Trip #4 – Fall in the Northern Rockies, take 2
This post is part of our pre-trip planning for our big trip in Fall 2022. HERE IS OUR POST-TRIP RETROSPECTIVE! As we’ve been sitting in steamy Virginia waiting for the summer crowds to leave the national parks, our fall travel plans have morphed a bit. The original plan called for J to fly to California…

Florida in January: Retrospective
We were in Florida from 1/2 to 2/2/2022. It seems obvious, but: spending January in a warm place is a great idea. We weren’t sure if we’d like spending so much time in Florida, and while we didn’t love all of the Florida we saw, we did love some and would return to a few…

One night in Fort Clinch State Park, FL–Florida in January trip
We were in Fort Clinch in February 2022 as part of our Florida in January trip. Fort Clinch State Park is located at the very top of the Florida coast on Amelia Island, 1.5 hours north of St Augustine, just outside the charming little town of Fernandina Beach. We had booked two nights here, but felt satisfied…

Three, no, two nights in Ormond Beach, FL–Florida in January trip
We were in Ormond Beach in January 2022 as part of our Florida in January trip. Most of our Florida trip was planned out way in advance, by necessity: many popular campgrounds and state parks get booked up as soon as the campsites are reservable, a year or eleven months in advance. So we booked what we…
