One night in Morganton, NC—Thanksgiving Mountains loop
We visited Morganton as part of our Thanksgiving Mountains loop in November 2025. After leaving my sister’s in Burlington, NC, we drove two hours west to Morganton. Morganton had been on our radar since our second Black Mountain visit in May 2024, when the chef at Pure and Proper recommended we visit Fonta Flora Brewery.

One night in Bryson City, NC (visit #2)–October WV/NC Mountains loop
We visited Bryson City in October 2025 as part of our October WV/NC Mountains loop. Read about our first Bryson City visit in May 2025 here.

One night in Waynesville, NC–October WV/NC Mountains loop
We visited Waynesville in October 2025 as part of our October WV/NC Mountains loop. Waynesville is the largest town in North Carolina west of Asheville, a fact that surprised me. It’s thirty miles west of Asheville, and two hours southwest of our previous stop, Banner Elk. Waynesville has a picturesque downtown with shops and restaurants,

Trip recap: October WV/NC Mountains loop
Hello! Because I’ve been so behind on writing posts about our May loop around the Carolinas, I didn’t bother to write a planning post for our October trip, so here’s the planning and recap all at once! We had plans with friends in the West Virginia mountains in early October, so used that as an

We visited Brevard in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop. Read about our second visit in November 2025 here. After a lovely two days in Bryson City, we drove an easy 1.5 hours back east to Brevard, 40 minutes south of Asheville and hilariously to us, just 20 minute up the road

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

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

AirstreamDog Route Details
We already have a map showing visual representations of the stops on our longer trips (and another map showing every overnight stop, campground, brewery, and hike from our Airstream travels–it’s a busy map!), but we thought it would be useful to have the map dots listed in text format too. Let us know if there’s

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
