  • One night in Lafayette, LA (visit #2)–Tucson for Christmas trip

    One night in Lafayette, LA (visit #2)–Tucson for Christmas trip

    We were in Lafayette in January 2024, as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Read about our previous visit in 2017 here. The drive to Lafayette from Austin is a pretty crappy six hours: all interstate, and traffic gets snarled up around Houston. BUT! We finally got to stop at a Punjabi dhaba and that made…

    Three nights in Austin, TX (visit #6)–Tucson for Christmas trip

    We were in Austin in January 2024, as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Read about our previous visits here: 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, and again a few weeks later in 2021. Oh man we love Airstreaming in (to?) Austin. The location of the campground, the food, the weather (well, usually), the running, the beer, the music… it’s just…

    One night in Las Cruces, NM (visit #2)–Tucson for Christmas trip

Tucson to Catalina to Prescott to Tucson… after eleven nights in Arizona (plus a non-contiguous night in Flagstaff), we’re heading home. But don’t worry, we still have some entertaining stops planned. While…

  • Two nights in Prescott, AZ–Tucson for Christmas trip

    Two nights in Prescott, AZ–Tucson for Christmas trip

    We visited Prescott in December 2023 as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Prescott is known for a historic and happening downtown and outdoor adventures, and we’ve long had it–and specifically the campground we stayed at–on our giant wishlist map with notes along the lines of “looks like a really cool town” and “campground seems like…

    One night in Flagstaff, AZ (visit #3)–Tucson for Christmas trip

    We visited Flagstaff in December 2023 as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Read about our second visit in 2018 here, and our first in 2016 here. Flagstaff is one of our favorite stops. It’s a perfect size, with a convenient campground, a walkable downtown, lots of breweries, and hiking nearby. Plus, it sits on the dreaded-but-necessary I-40…

  • One night in Albuquerque, NM–Tucson for Christmas trip

    One night in Albuquerque, NM–Tucson for Christmas trip

    We visited Albuquerque in December 2023 as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Continuing our speed trek west, in the morning we were back on I-40 for 4.5 hours of not-fun driving between Amarillo and Albuquerque. We’ve skipped Albuquerque on previous trips west due to its size, and our assumption that it’s too hard to get…

    One night in Amarillo, TX–Tucson for Christmas trip

    We visited Amarillo in December 2023 as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. From Tulsa, we were back on the interstate for five hours, pushing west west west to Amarillo. We’d hoped to spend the night and do some hiking in gorgeous Palo Duro Canyon State Park just outside Amarillo, but with the forecast…

    One night in Tulsa, OK (visit #2) — Tucson for Christmas Trip

    We visited Tulsa in December 2023 as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Read about our previous visit in 2022 here. From Memphis, it was a long interstate day. 5 hours 30 minutes–UGH. Tulsa is a bit of a diversion from the I-40 trek out west, but we think it’s worth it! Campground Last…

    One night in Memphis, TN (visit #4) — Tucson for Christmas Trip

    We visited Memphis in December 2023 as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Read about our first visit in 2017 here, our second in 2020 here, and our third in 2022 here. From Bowling Green, it’s a four-hour interstate drive to Memphis… or should I say West Memphis, AR, where our campground is located, and…
