One night in Raleigh, NC–Carolinas in November trip
We visited Raleigh in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. At long last, we’re on the road again! It feels like forever since we’ve been out Airstreaming: our last trip was a week in the mountains of North Carolina back in May. The most recent write-ups from Asheville and Black Mountain…

Trip planning: the Carolinas in November
[UPDATE! Here’s what we ended up doing!] Hello! We have a quiet summer Airstream-wise and are itching to get out on the road! To scratch that itch, we’re starting to plan our next Airstream adventure in November. We have two weeks between plans in Southern Pines, NC and Burlington, NC, so that seems like a…

Two nights in Black Mountain, NC (visit #2)–Spring in the NC Mountains trip
We visited Black Mountain in early May 2024 as part of our short Spring in the NC Mountains trip. Read about our first visit in 2023 here and our third visit in 2026 here. Black Mountain is just a twenty-minute hop east from Asheville, and even though we could easily visit while the Airstream is…

Two nights in Franklin, NC–Spring in the NC Mountains trip
We visited Franklin in early May 2024 as part of our short Spring in the NC Mountains trip. The first destination of our six-day let’s-take-the-Airstream-somewhere-fun trip was Franklin, NC, a small town in the mountains southwest of Asheville. We hadn’t been to Franklin before, but we enjoyed a stay in nearby Sylva several years ago,…

Trip planning: Spring in the NC mountains
The Airstream just came home from the shop–you may recall from the end of our last trip that we had a nonfunctioning hot water heater bypass, damage from the exploded tire, and a missing rock guard. Everything appears to be ship shape now, so it’s time for a road trip! As we started thinking about…

One night in Asheville, NC (visit #15)–Tucson for Christmas Trip
We were in Asheville in January 2024, as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Read about our Asheville Favorites here. Last stop for the Tucson trip! We were ready to get home and return to a more manageable eating and drinking schedule. Atlanta to Asheville is a 3.5-hour (without Atlanta traffic) interstate journey; our trip was uneventful but…

One night in Atlanta, GA (visit #7?)–Tucson for Christmas Trip
We were in Atlanta in January 2024, as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Read about our previous visit a couple years ago here. With a time zone change, it was a four-hour trip from Tuscaloosa, our previous stop, to Atlanta. We love stopping in Atlanta on our way to/from home because we park the Airstream…

One night in Memphis, TN (visit #4) — Tucson for Christmas Trip
We visited Memphis in December 2023 as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Read about our first visit in 2017 here, our second in 2020 here, and our third in 2022 here. From Bowling Green, it’s a four-hour interstate drive to Memphis… or should I say West Memphis, AR, where our campground is located, and…

One night in Bowling Green, KY — Tucson for Christmas Trip
We were in Bowling Green in mid-December 2023, as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. After a lovely afternoon at Mammoth Cave National Park, we drove 40 minutes to Bowling Green for the night. Campground The Bowling Green KOA is a nice, big campground, with a quick check-in (which you don’t always get at…

Mammoth Cave National Park
We visited Mammoth Cave in December 2023 as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. We couldn’t resist picking up another national park (our 40th!) while in the vicinity: From Knoxville, it was a pleasant 3.5-hour drive on smaller roads to Mammoth Cave National Park in south-central Kentucky. On a Monday in December, we had…
