We were in Lafayette in January 2024, as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Read about our previous visit in 2017 here. The drive to Lafayette from Austin is a pretty crappy six hours: all interstate, and traffic gets snarled up around Houston. BUT! We finally got to stop at a Punjabi dhaba and that made…

Two nights in Prescott, AZ–Tucson for Christmas trip
We visited Prescott in December 2023 as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Prescott is known for a historic and happening downtown and outdoor adventures, and we’ve long had it–and specifically the campground we stayed at–on our giant wishlist map with notes along the lines of “looks like a really cool town” and “campground seems like…

Death Valley National Park
We visited Death Valley in December 2023, as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Death Valley is HUGE: it’s the largest US national park outside of Alaska, larger than Rhode Island and Delaware combined. It’s also the hottest, driest, and lowest national park, and the hottest place Earth, once hitting 134°F! (Beware of the heat if…
