    Carolinas in November Retrospective

    In November 2024, we made a big loop down the South Carolina coast and back up through central SC and into the NC mountains. We had a ton of fun, ate and drank and played a lot, saw nature and art and history, and would love to do a variation on this trip again in…

    Two nights in Asheville, NC (visit #17)–Carolinas in November trip

    We visited Asheville in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. Read alllll of our other Asheville posts here. We were nervous and excited to return to Asheville for our first post-Helene visit. Our favorite part of town, the River Arts District, was decimated by the flooding, and many of the old warehouses…

    One night in Greenville, SC (visit #2)–Carolinas in November trip

    We visited Greenville in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. Read about our previous visit seven (?!) years ago here. From Columbia, it’s just under two hours of interstate driving to Greenville. Why Greenville? It’s a cool little city in Upstate South Carolina, about halfway between Charlotte and Atlanta, in the…

  • One night in Columbia, SC–Carolinas in November trip

    One night in Columbia, SC–Carolinas in November trip

    We visited Columbia in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. The main reason we wanted to go to Columbia on our way from the coast to the mountains was Congaree National Park. Yes, there’s a national park hidden away in central South Carolina! Columbia is also the state capital, is the…

  • Three nights in Hilton Head, SC–Carolinas in November trip

    Three nights in Hilton Head, SC–Carolinas in November trip

    We visited Hilton Head in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. From Beaufort, we drove less than an hour down to the next Sea Island to the south, Hilton Head. We weren’t sure what to expect there: ritzy resorts mixed with laidback locals’ joints? Ubiquitous tennis and golf culture? Beautiful beaches…

  • Two nights in Beaufort, SC–Carolinas in November trip

    Two nights in Beaufort, SC–Carolinas in November trip

    We visited Beaufort in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. Continuing our island hop down the coast of South Carolina, we drove 1.5 hours south from Charleston to Beaufort. Beaufort (BEW-fort, not like BO-fort, North Carolina!) is the second-oldest city in South Carolina, behind Charleston, and ahead of third-place Georgetown. But…

    One night in Charleston, SC (visit #2)–Carolinas in November trip

    We visited Charleston in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. Read about our first trip in 2017 here. This visit was very different from the first time we took the Airstream to Charleston in 2017! Then we focused on touristy stuff in the historic district; this trip we didn’t much feel…

    Two nights in Edisto Beach, SC–Carolinas in November trip

    We visited Edisto Beach in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. From Georgetown, we drove a couple hours south to Edisto Beach, chosen for its old-school beach town feel, its scenic state park campground, and the dog-friendly beach itself. Our savvy Atlanta cousin gave us an important tip when we told…

    One night in Georgetown, SC–Carolinas in November trip

    We visited Georgetown in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. From Raleigh, it was a 3.5-hour drive down to Georgetown, the longest driving segment of our two-week trip through the Carolinas. Georgetown is the third-oldest city in South Carolina, behind Charleston and Beaufort, both stops on this Carolinas trip. It was…

    One night in Raleigh, NC–Carolinas in November trip

    We visited Raleigh in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. At long last, we’re on the road again! It feels like forever since we’ve been out Airstreaming: our last trip was a week in the mountains of North Carolina back in May. The most recent write-ups from Asheville and Black Mountain…
