  • Six+ months (!) in Crozet, VA

    Six+ months (!) in Crozet, VA

    We full-timed in the Airstream the first half of 2018. 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 lucky for us, as we…

  • Two days in Chapel Hill / Durham / Carrboro, NC–Big Bend Loop

    Two days in Chapel Hill / Durham / Carrboro, NC–Big Bend Loop

    We visited Carrboro in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. 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 visit!…

  • Two days in Lexington, KY–Big Bend Loop

    Two days in Lexington, KY–Big Bend Loop

    We visited Lexington in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. 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, nothing…

  • Four days in St Louis, MO–Big Bend Loop

    Four days in St Louis, MO–Big Bend Loop

    We visited St Louis in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. 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…

  • Two days in Branson, MO–Big Bend Loop

    Two days in Branson, MO–Big Bend Loop

    We visited Branson in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. Branson wasn’t on our initial itinerary for this trip, and then the NYT’s list of 52 Places to Go in 2018 was released–and Branson’s on the list! It’s on the way from Medicine Park to St Louis, and the route from Branson…

  • One day in Terlingua, TX–Big Bend Loop

    One day in Terlingua, TX–Big Bend Loop

    We visited Terlingua in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. How do I describe Terlingua… It’s a tiny ghost town in the desert with nightly live music and delicious margaritas. It’s famous for its annual chili cookoff–which is actually two competing cookoffs, and one giant party–every November. It’s a surprising little…

    Three days in Nashville, TN (visit #2)–Big Bend Loop

    We were in Nashville in December 2017 as part of our Big Bend loop. [Read about our other Nashville visits here: #1, #3, #4, #5, and #6, or skip to our Nashville Favorites post!] After we took the Airstream to Nashville last Spring, we knew we wanted to return for the food, drink, and fun,…

    Two days in Savannah, GA (visit #1)–Short Southeast Loop

    We were in Savannah in November 2017 as part of a short Southeast loop. Read about our second visit in 2022 here. 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…

  • One day in Greenville, SC–Short Southeast Loop

    One day in Greenville, SC–Short Southeast Loop

    We were in Greenville in November 2017 as part of a short Southeast loop. Read about our second visit in 2024 here. 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…
