Two nights in Catalina State Park, AZ–Winter Warmth trip
We were in Catalina in February 2021, as part of our Winter Warmth Trip. Read about our second visit in 2023 here. If you’re anywhere near Tucson, just go to Catalina State Park. Just go! Only about 20 minutes north of Tucson, Catalina is insanely gorgeous, the hikes are (mostly) dog-friendly, and the campground is…

Four nights in Tucson, AZ (visit #2)–Winter Warmth trip
We were in Tucson in early February 2021, as part of our Winter Warmth Trip. Read about our first visit in 2019 here, our third in 2022 here, and our fourth in 2023 here. And I finally wrote a Tucson Favorites post! It’s a long drive from Marfa to Tucson! We don’t normally like to…

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…
