Two nights in Clemson, SC–May Carolinas loop
We visited Clemson in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop. Our original trip plan called for a couple more coastal stops, Hilton Head and Tybee Island, before swinging inland to Aiken and then up into the mountains at Clemson. But returning to our Charleston campground, a place we’d loved with Bugsy, was…

One night in Charleston, SC (visit #3)–May Carolinas loop
We visited Charleston in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop. Read about our first visit in 2017 here and our second in 2024 here. From Myrtle Beach, it was an easy 2.5-hour drive down to Charleston. We were scheduled to stay for two days, but being there without Bugsy was incredibly hard–and…

One night in Myrtle Beach, SC–May Carolinas loop
We visited Myrtle Beach in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop. Flashy Myrtle Beach is an hour-and-a-half drive and a world away from laid-back Oak Island. I hadn’t been since college beach week and had no idea what to expect. We were bracing ourselves a bit for a tacky touristy or obnoxious…

One night in Oak Island, NC–May Carolinas loop
We visited Oak Island in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop. In early May, my dad was wrapping up a late-winter hibernation in Southport, NC, so when planning our route down the North Carolina coast we looked for campgrounds in that area. A pleasant 2.5-hour drive south from Atlantic Beach later we…

One night in Richmond, VA (visit #2) and three nights in Atlantic Beach, NC (visit #1)–May Carolinas loop
We visited Richmond and Atlantic Beach in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop; read about our first (Airstream) visit to Richmond way back in 2016 here. Writing up the night we spent in Richmond and the weekend we spent in Atlantic Beach has been a struggle for us, as Richmond turned out…

Trip recap: May Carolinas loop
Forgive us if it takes a while to get back into our normal writing groove. Looking at photos and trip details without Bugsy here makes us sad, but we know we’ll want to be able to reference our travel notes in the future, so we’re trying to get back on that horse. We ended up…

Bugsy
This post was written by Bugsy’s #1 favorite person, her dad. It was January 2015 and we weren’t particularly in the market for a dog. One of L’s colleagues who volunteers at the local SPCA convinced us (her) to go meet a large pit bull named Bon Jovi who had been at the pound for…

Planning again, but shorter and sooner: May three-weeker
As some blocks of activities and obligations shift around on our Spring calendar, we’re seeing the possibility of a three-ish-week Airstream trip in May, and since I love to trip-plan, here I am to type up some ideas. Alas, we don’t have enough time to go all the way to Wind Cave. I had so…

Trip planning: an excuse to go to the Rockies?
[Read the second draft of this trip proposal written in 2/26 here!] My sister gave me a super cute water bottle for my birthday, with spaces to stick pretty stickers for each national park you’ve visited. I happily decorated the bottle with 44 stickers and only later realized I made a mistake: I stuck on…

Carolinas in November: Retrospective
In November 2024, we made a big loop down the South Carolina coast and back up through central SC and into the NC mountains. We had a ton of fun, ate and drank and played a lot, saw nature and art and history, and would love to do a variation on this trip again in…
