    We visited Damascus in September 2023, as part of our Five Days in the Mountains trip. Read about our first visit in 2016 here.

    [EDIT: See end of this post to find out where we ended up going!] Our Airstream has been sadly sitting all alone since we brought it home from the repair shop after our last trip in the spring to the mountains of WV and NC. We had to get the leaky hot water heater and…

  • Big Trip #4 Retrospective

    Big Trip #4 Retrospective

    Big Trip #4 was in fact a BIG trip! We covered a lot of ground and had all sorts of memorable experiences, and that’s why it took me almost four months to finish writing all the trip posts. My bad. But I love writing these retrospectives a few months after we get home because it…

    One night in Nashville, TN (visit #6)–Big Trip #4

    We were in Nashville in mid-November 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Read about our favorites from our five previous trips here.

    One night in Tulsa, OK–Big Trip #4

    We were in Tulsa in early November 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Read about our second visit in 2023 here. Tulsa’s not quiiiite on the way home to VA from AZ, but it’s well worth the extra hour of driving if you’re traveling I-40 through Oklahoma, as we were when heading from Sayre to…

  • Two nights in Ventura, CA–Big Trip #4

    Two nights in Ventura, CA–Big Trip #4

    We visited Ventura in late October 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Ventura was really only on our radar because friends had lived there until a few years ago, and they adored it, and they are cool people, so we should like it, right? Right! We loved it. Ventura’s a surprisingly quiet surf town…
