    Fish Tacos: a photo essay

    Hello! I haven’t written anything lately because after about nine months living full-time in the Airstream (which deserves its own post) we’ve moved into a regular non-wheeled house.

    Three days in Wilmington, NC

    We visited Wilmington in February 2017 while full-timing in the Airstream in Virginia. Our trek from Central VA to Wilmington, NC went through our friends’ driveway in Virginia Beach.

  • Two days in Destin, FL–Winter Loop to Austin

    Two days in Destin, FL–Winter Loop to Austin

    We visited Destin in January 2017 as part of our Winter Loop to Austin trip. Destin is a bit of a sprawling beach destination, spreading from the ocean to the bay along a busy main drag, and it has many faces: partially-vacant strip malls, touristy beach bars and seafood restaurants, fancy yacht clubs and golf courses and a Whole Foods,…
