Three nights in Bend, OR–Big Trip #4
We visited Bend in late September 2022 as part of Big Trip #4. You can’t drive from Mount Rainier to Crater Lake and not stop in Bend! Everything you’ve read about Bend’s coolness is true. We loved it. Mountains, waterfalls, cute neighborhoods, the Deschutes River running through the city, multiple food truck pods (!), and…

Portland, ME addendum: two nights in Portland sans Bugsy and Airstream
We visited Portland in July 2022. Read about our first visit with Bugsy and the Airstream in 2019 here! I feel like I’m cheating by writing an AirstreamDog post about a trip we took without either the Airstream or the Dog, but we wanted to update our previous Portland post because we were able to…

Nashville Favorites
This post is based on our six visits to Nashville from 2017 to 2022. As of this writing (mid-2022), we’ve taken the Airstream to Nashville six times: It’s a lot easier to read about our Nashville favorites in one place, rather than dig through multiple posts, so here we’ll pull together the highlights of all…

This post is part of our pre-trip planning for our big trip in Fall 2022. HERE IS OUR POST-TRIP RETROSPECTIVE! [We’ve updated the plan since this post and our route looks pretty different now!] We are freshly home from our last trip and are itching to get back out there, so we’re thrilled to be…

One night in Savannah, GA (visit #2)–Florida in January trip
We were in Savannah in February 2022 as part of our Florida in January trip. Read about our first visit to Savannah in 2017 here. Savannah was the last official stop on our Florida trip; after Savannah, we parked in my sister’s driveway in NC for a night, and then went home. Originally we’d planned on two…

Two nights in Atlanta, GA (visit #6)–Florida in January trip
We were in Atlanta in January 2021 as part of our Florida in January trip. Atlanta was the second stop on our Florida trip, an easy (well, depending on Atlanta traffic) 3.5-hour drive from Asheville. I’m always unsure if I should include our Atlanta visits here (see the not super-detailed write-ups for visit #1 and…

Trip planning: Florida in January
Are we officially snowbirds? Wikipedia’s definition includes us: “A snowbird is a person who migrates from the colder northern parts of North America to warmer southern locales, typically during the winter… A significant portion of the snowbird community is made up of recreational vehicle users (RVers).” So then yes, we’re happily snowbirds, leaving gloomy Virginia in gloomy January for…

One night in Lake Lure, NC–Quickie Fall Loop
We visited Lake Lure in November 2021, as part of our quickie fall loop from Erwin, TN to Asheville to Lake Lure. Lake Lure is a tiny town with a pretty recreational lake nestled in the mountains less than an hour from Asheville. There’s not much to the town that isn’t lake-related, so in the off-season,…

One night in Erwin, TN–Quickie Fall Loop
We were in Erwin in November 2021, as part of our quickie fall loop from Erwin to Asheville to Lake Lure, NC. Read about our second visit in September 2023 here. I say “in Erwin, TN,” but we didn’t actually go into Erwin proper. We did see a sign for Union Street Taproom, so there’s…

Four days in Boone, NC (visit #2)
We visited Boone in August 2021. Read about our first visit to Boone in May 2021 here, and our third in September 2023 here. We also visited Floyd, VA on this trip. After spending two nights in Boone in May, we knew we had to go back and explore more. We barely scratched the surface…
