adventures with a dog and an airstream
We’ve stayed in a lot of campgrounds across and up and down the US (see where on this map!), and Misty Mountain Camp Resort in the village of Crozet, just outside Charlottesville, Virginia, is the nicest campground we’ve found–which is...
We specifically went to the Carrboro area to see a band we love, Destroyer, whom we followed from Asheville. A lovely bonus to this stop is that my mom, sister, and nephew live nearby and could pop over for a...
I am a horseperson. Not a literal horse-person hybrid (although my mom might disagree with that when remembering the behavior of my 12-year-old self), but someone who since age ten has loved horses almost as much as dogs (come on,...
St Louis isn’t somewhere we’d ever talked about visiting. All I really knew about it was that the Arch is there. But while researching this trip’s itinerary, J discovered that St Louis is one of the rare big cities that has...

[Read about our other Nashville visits here: #1, #3, and #4] After we took the Airstream to Nashville last Spring, we knew we wanted to return for the food, drink, and fun, all with easy access from a campground in...
J and I had not been to Savannah, so we wanted to spend as much time as possible wandering around and soaking up the history and architecture of the city. Our internet research did not get us particularly excited about...
We only had 24 hours in Greenville–lunchtime to lunchtime–but we packed a lot of activity in to that time: lots of walking, followed by snacks, beer, dinner, beer, nightcap, and BISCUITS! Campground Ivy Acres RV Park is lovely, with large pull-through...
