Two nights in Niagara Falls, ON–Big Trip #5
We visited Niagara Falls as part of Big Trip #5 in August 2026. Crossing into Niagara Falls, Ontario marked our first time taking the Airstream to Canada! Not our first time visiting Canada while Airstreaming–that was when we popped across from Sault Ste Marie, Michigan to Sault Ste Marie, Ontario on Big Trip #1, but…

Three nights in Watkins Glen, NY–Big Trip #5
We visited Watkins Glen as part of Big Trip #5 in August 2026. So we didn’t love Ithaca. Brainstorming other nearby options that would give us similar access to gorges and state parks as we had in Ithaca, but based in a quirkier and more charming town, we landed on Watkins Glen, a half hour…

One night in Ithaca, NY–Big Trip #5
We visited Ithaca as part of Big Trip #5 in August 2026. I’ve been intrigued by Ithaca since I was a kid and saw “Ithaca is Gorges” on a bumper sticker at home in Virginia. I don’t know if it was the thought of dramatic nature or the wordplay that appealed to me more, but…

One night in Paris, VA–Big Trip #5
We visited Paris as part of Big Trip #5 in August 2026. And we’re off! First stop on our fall trip, previously known as the Ontario loop and now as Big Trip #5, was wee Paris, VA. The primary reason we chose Paris was to dine at a specific restaurant, but we were happy with…

We visited Black Mountain as part of our Thanksgiving Mountains loop in November 2025. Read about our previous visits in November 2023 here, and May 2024 here. From Hendersonville, it was an easy 35-minute interstate drive through Asheville to Black Mountain. As we passed our familiar Asheville exits, we decided to drop off the trailer…

Two nights in Hendersonville, NC—Thanksgiving Mountains loop
We visited Hendersonville as part of our Thanksgiving Mountains loop in November 2025. Hendersonville is only twenty miles from Brevard, our previous stop, and only thirty miles from Asheville. We could have easily visited as a day trip from either of those places, but we are so glad we spent two nights in Hendersonville instead.…

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 Asheville, NC (visit #19)–October WV/NC Mountains loop
We visited Asheville in October 2025 as part of our October WV/NC Mountains loop. Read about alllll our other Asheville visits here. We stopped for a night in Asheville to break up the drive home from Bryson City, an hour west. But we also stopped because we love Asheville! This will be a boring post…

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. From Waynesville it was a pleasant 45-minute drive to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park parking area near Bryson City. We’d gotten up early and were fortunate to snag…
