One night in Paris, VA–Big Trip #5
We visited Paris as part of Big Trip #5 in August 2026. And we’re off! First stop on our fall trip, previously known as the Ontario loop and now as Big Trip #5, was wee Paris, VA. The primary reason we chose Paris was to dine at a specific restaurant, but we were happy with…

One night in Richmond, VA (visit #2) and three nights in Atlantic Beach, NC (visit #1)–May Carolinas loop
We visited Richmond and Atlantic Beach in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop; read about our first (Airstream) visit to Richmond way back in 2016 here. Writing up the night we spent in Richmond and the weekend we spent in Atlantic Beach has been a struggle for us, as Richmond turned out…

Trip recap: May Carolinas loop
Forgive us if it takes a while to get back into our normal writing groove. Looking at photos and trip details without Bugsy here makes us sad, but we know we’ll want to be able to reference our travel notes in the future, so we’re trying to get back on that horse. We ended up…

One night in Damascus, VA (visit #2)–Five Days in the Mountains
We visited Damascus in September 2023, as part of our Five Days in the Mountains trip. Read about our first visit in 2016 here. We couldn’t dally too long on the Nolichucky because we had a bike shuttle reservation in Damascus! Our first Airstream trip after Big Trip #1 was to Damascus, a tiny town…

Two days in Floyd, VA (visit #2)
We visited Floyd in August 2021. Read about our first visit to Floyd in May 2021 here. We also visited Boone, NC on this trip. Floyd is the coolest little mountain town (although it’s not our #1 absolute favorite little mountain town), especially on Friday nights in the summer when there’s a jamming bluegrass band…

Two nights in Floyd, VA (visit #1)–RV Caravan with Friends trip
We were in Floyd from May 22 to May 24, 2021, as part of our week-long RV caravan with friends, and we returned in August! Floyd is a wee tiny town with an awesome name just off the Blue Ridge Parkway in the mountains of southwest Virginia. It’s a scenic 2.5-hour drive from Fayetteville WV, our…

A Weekend at the Misty Mountain Music Festival
We took the Airstream to Misty Mountain after visiting Asheville and Fayetteville in September 2019. The final destination of our week-long Airstream jaunt was the Misty Mountain Music Festival, at our old home campground, Misty Mountain Camp Resort in Greenwood, VA. I didn’t take any notes, or take many photos that don’t include people who…

Big Trip #2 catch-up
We were on Big Trip #2 in fall of 2018. Okay, so we’ve been back home in VA for a month now and I’m still writing about Utah and Arizona. It’s fun to relive our adventures in the Western sun, sitting here in gloomy Virginia where it’s threatening to sleet later today. Maybe we should…

Six+ months (!) in Crozet, VA
We full-timed in the Airstream the first half of 2018. We’ve stayed in a lot of campgrounds across and up and down the US (see where on this map!), and Misty Mountain Camp Resort in the village of Crozet, just outside Charlottesville, Virginia, is the nicest campground we’ve found–which is lucky for us, as we…

Airstreaming at Lockn’ Music Festival
We took the Airstream to Lockn’ in August 2016. Does this belong on AirstreamDog? Because our Airstream Dog didn’t accompany us–the first trip we’ve done in the Airstream without Bugsy. We spent four nights camping in an enormous field of RVs, down the road from an even bigger tent city, surrounded by oppressive heat, orange…
