    Two nights in Asheville, NC (visit #13)–Spring in the Mountains Quickie trip

    We visited Asheville in April 2023, as part of our Spring in the mountains quickie. We’ve been to Asheville too many other times to link here; see our Asheville Favorites post for a summary. This little springtime trip didn’t quite go as planned: we swapped around our first few days and landed in White Sulphur…

    We visited White Sulphur Springs in April 2023, as part of our Spring in the mountains quickie. If you read our planning post for this little trip, you would have seen that our plan was to first spend 2 days in Seneca Rocks, then one day somewhere on the way to Asheville, and finally two…

  • 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. We’ve now taken the Airstream to Nashville six times… but we may not return. Why? We love Nashville, but part of the reason is because we loved our campground at the Nashville Fairgrounds,…

    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…

  • Sequoia National Park

    Sequoia National Park

    We spent two nights outside Sequoia National Park in mid-October 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. In Yosemite, we met our first giant sequoias, from a distance. In Kings Canyon, we got up close and personal with lots more sequoias, including enormous stumps and logging graveyards. Our sequoia grand finale was Sequoia National Park!…

  • Yosemite National Park

    Yosemite National Park

    We spent three nights just outside Yosemite in early October 2022 as part of Big Trip #4. From Reno, it was a long (and expensive! gas prices in California!) 4.5-hour drive to our next campground near Yosemite National Park. Our route took us up Tioga Pass, the highest elevation highway pass in CA, and a…

  • One night in Reno, NV–Big Trip #4

    One night in Reno, NV–Big Trip #4

    We stayed in Reno in early October 2022 as part of Big Trip #4. Our friends moved to Reno several years ago for many reasons: they loved the climate, they loved that it’s an easy flight to all sorts of cool locations out West, they loved the proximity to Lake Tahoe (our previous location), they…
