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.

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
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…

Big Trip #3 Catch-up #3
We’re home! I’m going to get all the posts up eventually–my computer is only working intermittently, so I have a new excuse for being slow to post–but wanted to catch you up on our last several stops as we popped around Colorado and then hopped back across the country toward home. (Here are catch-up #1…

Trip planning: the Smokies in the Spring
Expecting to travel this Spring with the current COVID-19 situation may be wishful thinking, but what better way to distract myself from the news than by dreaming about adventures? Before all this pandemic crap we were going to go to Great Smoky Mountains National Park in April. Hopefully even though we can’t go this Spring,…

One night in Charlotte, NC (visit #3)–Southeast Lollipop trip
We were in Charlotte as part of our Southeast Lollipop trip in January 2020. Read about our first two Airstream trips to Charlotte in 2017 here and here, and our fourth in 2021 here. Charlotte’s an easy overnight stop for us when taking the Airstream south or home to VA from the South. The campground…

One night in Montgomery, AL–Southeast Lollipop trip
We were in Montgomery as part of our Southeast Lollipop trip in January 2020. For a dose of culture, a tasty meal, and a relaxing drink after a long day of driving, we chose Montgomery as our stopover between New Orleans and Atlanta. Montgomery is packed with important historical sites and some solid bar and…
