Four days in St Augustine, FL (visit #1)–Southeast Lollipop trip
We were in St Augustine as part of our Southeast Lollipop trip in January 2020. Read about our second visit in 2022 here. Pretty little St Augustine is VERY touristy, especially around the holidays.

Trip planning: Quick Southeast lollipop in January

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…

We took the Airstream to Misty Mountain after visiting Asheville and Fayetteville in September 2019.

One night in Williamsport, MD–Acadia Loop trip
We visited Williamsport in May 2019 during our Acadia National Park trip. This will be an easy post to write. Something happened to me overnight in Mystic, and I was completely useless the next morning when we had to leave for Williamsport. I uncurled from my fetal position a few times: to help hitch up the…

One day in Mystic, CT–Acadia Loop trip
We were in Mystic in May 2019 during our loop trip to Acadia NP. Connecticut was Bugsy’s 41st state! We were all very excited about that. And it was the Airstream’s 40th, but the Airstream cares less than Bugsy does about that sort of thing. At this point in the trip we were just hightailing…
