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. It’s not the most direct route, but it was the ideal one for us. Bugsy rabidly enjoyed her first true beach experience and the humans were…

One night in Grapevine, TX–Winter Loop to Austin
We visited Grapevine in January 2017 as part of our Winter Loop to Austin trip. After two days in Memphis, we wanted to hightail it to Austin as quickly as possible, which meant a long day of driving. Eyeballing the map, it seemed that the Dallas area was a good distance to shoot for, so…

Two days in Jonesborough, TN–Big Trip #1
We visited Jonesborough in June 2016 during Big Trip #1. This was a great stop for us–fantastic camping, rewarding hiking, good beer and delicious tacos. One activity we missed was exploring historic Jonesborough, which looks quaint and lovely, but we prioritized enjoying our sweet campsite over driving more. We’ll just have to go back! Campground We stayed…
