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...

Big Trip #3 Catch-up #2
I’m not doing a very good job keeping you all (Uncle Jim, I think it’s only you at this point) updated on our travels, am I? We’re packing so much into our days that I’m not super motivated to write...
Big Trip #3 Catch-up #1
Yes, I’m behind posting about Big Trip #3, and I’m just going to get slower because we’re into the good hiking territory now and that’s pretty much all we’re doing. And drinking beer. So in an attempt to keep you...

Catch-up: we took the Airstream to Maine
It took me 7 months to finish writing about Big Trip #2; hopefully I’ll be quicker to write about our next, much shorter trip. In May, we took the Airstream up to Acadia National Park in Maine! I wrote about...
Big Trip #2: Retrospective
Our final stop on Big Trip #2 was Asheville for one night, but I already listed our activities there on the Big Trip #2 Catch-up post, so I’ll skip it here and get to the trip analysis! Lessons learned The...
