Three days in Traverse City, MI–Big Trip #1
We visited Traverse City in May 2016 during Big Trip #1. We spent Memorial Day Weekend in Traverse City, Michigan. It’s a cute, fun little town, with several distinct neighborhoods wrapped around the Grand Traverse Bay of Lake Michigan. There are lots of running options around town, good hiking nearby, and many breweries in the area! Campground We stayed…

One day in Mackinaw City, MI–Big Trip #1
We visited Mackinaw City in May 2016 during Big Trip #1. Here’s another pronunciation lesson for you, courtesy of the State of Michigan: Cross the Straits of Mackinac on the Mackinac Bridge into Mackinaw City, which is a short boat ride from Mackinac Island, and they are all said Mackinaw… even though Mackinac is much catchier,…

Two days in Sault Ste. Marie, MI–Big Trip #1
We visited Sault Ste Marie in May 2016 during Big Trip #1. After Houghton, we had a few days of play in our schedule before we were due in Traverse City, so after extensive googling and debating we decided to spend part of that time in Sault Ste. Marie. That’s pronounced “soo saint marie.” We loved our campsite–another sweet waterfront…

Three days in Houghton, MI–Big Trip #1
We visited Houghton in late May 2016, as part of Big Trip #1. Raise your hand if you can point out Michigan’s Upper Peninsula on a map. Anyone? Yeah, I couldn’t either. Michigan is often referred to as the Mitten State, because, well, look at it and you’ll see the mitten and thumb. But look closer and you’ll…

One night in Chippewa Falls, WI–Big Trip #1
We visited Chippewa Falls in May 2016 during Big Trip #1. We left South Dakota early, anxious to get to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, so drove as far as our sanity could handle and picked as our destination a nearby town we’d heard of but didn’t know anything about: Chippewa Falls, WI. Turns out that’s where…

A few clarifications…
We wrote this post while on Big Trip #1 in 2016! Based on a few questions we’ve gotten recently, it seems that I need to clarify a few things. To those of you who are commenting and asking questions, thank you! I am happy anyone is paying enough attention to our trip to have questions!…

Practice Camping Trip #2: Richmond, VA
Campground We knew we wanted to be close to Richmond, so right away Americamps RV Resort in Ashland jumped to the top of the list, and then we saw that THERE IS A BREWERY ACROSS THE PARKING LOT. As in, you can walk there–and more importantly, walk home. The campground is huge, with lots of amenities:…

Practice Camping Trip #1: Fredericksburg, VA
Campground(s) We spent two nights at the Fredericksburg VA / Washington DC South KOA. It was quiet and woodsy, with a little lake, and pretty sparsely populated on a cold January weekend. The camp store had snacks and supplies, and the location was fairly close to Fredericksburg. Putting DC in the name is a stretch.…
