One night in Marfa, TX–Winter Warmth trip
We were in Marfa in February 2021, as part of our Winter Warmth Trip. Marfa is a surprising place: a charming, half-hippie, half-cowboy little town waaaay out in southwest Texas. It’s known for a thriving art scene and the mysterious Marfa Lights, it has a walkable little downtown, and some good food and drink options.…

Two days in Big Bend National Park (visit #4)–Winter Warmth Trip
We were in Big Bend from February 1 to February 3, 2021, as part of our Winter Warmth Trip. Read about our past visits here: late 2018, early 2018, and 2016. We love Big Bend! Is it our favorite National Park? Maybe! It’s too hard to choose, but Big Bend is in the running for…

One night in Alpine, TX (visit #3)–Winter Warmth trip
We were in Alpine in January 2021, as part of our Winter Warmth Trip. Read about our past visits here: 2019, 2018, and a couple hours in 2016. After some big city fun in Austin and San Antonio, we shot west toward our probably-favorite (but man that’s a hard choice to make) National Park. We…

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…

Three days in Austin, TX (visit #4)–Winter Warmth trip
We were in Austin in January 2021, as part of our Winter Warmth Trip. Read about our previous visits here: 2017, 2018, and 2019, and our Snowmaggedon experience in 2021 here; and our subsequent visit in 2024 here. Austin made us forget all about our disappointing stopover in Vidor! I need to write an Austin…

One night in Vidor, TX–Winter Warmth trip
We were in Vidor from January 25 to January 26, 2021, as part of our Winter Warmth Trip. Where??? It’s a loooooong drive between Austin and anywhere appealing to the east. This Houston to New Orleans road trip guide has some potentially good stopover options, but after leaving Ocean Springs we wanted to keep driving…

One night in Ocean Springs, MS–Winter Warmth trip
We were in Ocean Springs in January 2021, as part of our Winter Warmth Trip. We left Atlanta and headed west, stopping for a night in Ocean Springs, MS, a posh and bustling little beach town full of eating and drinking establishments. It’s a quainter alternative to larger Biloxi across the bay. The main commercial…

Two nights in Atlanta, twice (visits #4 and #5)–Winter Warmth trip
We were in Atlanta in January and February 2021, as part of our Winter Warmth trip. The first and second-to-last (Charlotte was last) stop on our Winter Warmth expedition was Atlanta, and this post combines both visits. Note that we visited during the pandemic, so prioritized outdoor experiences. And eating, we definitely prioritized eating. I…

We went somewhere warm in February
Mostly, anyways. We also ended up in Texas during the end-times freezing temperatures and power and water outages. Other than that, it was a wonderful trip! Here’s your teaser while I start to work on the trip posts. We had extremely spotty campground internet service while traveling, which is my excuse for not posting anything…

Trip Planning: Go somewhere warm in February
Cold weather is for the birds. Especially during the pandemic when all our activities are outdoors. So why not go to a place where the outdoors is more pleasant? Here’s the plan (and here’s what we actually ended up doing): After parking the Airstream in the driveway of family in NC and GA, we’ll shoot…
