  • Two days in San Antonio, TX–Winter Warmth trip

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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…

  • Big Trip #3 Retrospective

    Big Trip #3 Retrospective

    Big Trip #3 was in Fall 2020; you should also read about Big Trip #1 in 2016, Big Trip #2 in 2018, and Big Trip #4 in 2022! This trip was a little weird. Wildfires altered our route: our initial trip plans included Oregon and California, but after experiencing the smoke in Montana, we rerouted.…

  • Two nights in Asheville, NC (visit #8)–Big Trip #3

    Two nights in Asheville, NC (visit #8)–Big Trip #3

    We were in Ashville in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Read about our Asheville favorites here. Asheville is generally our first or last (or both) stop on any Airstream trip. We love this city–great hiking, food, beer, cocktails, and campground. It checks all our boxes! We’ve written extensively about our Asheville stays and…

  • One day in Pigeon Forge, TN–Big Trip #3

    One day in Pigeon Forge, TN–Big Trip #3

    We were in Pigeon Forge in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3.  Pigeon Forge (and Gatlinburg next door), to us, is only worth visiting as a gateway to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We did not like the town at all, but if you have read this blog at all you should not be…
