Trip planning take 2: Rockies or Ontario?
I’m still in trip dreaming and planning mode over here in icy Virginia. J and I are tossing around the idea of doing a Big Trip late this summer; in the past we’d done a Big Trip every two years (#1 in 2016, #2 in 2018, #3 in 2020, and #4 in 2022), but this

One night in Asheville, NC (visit #19)–October WV/NC Mountains loop
We visited Asheville in October 2025 as part of our October WV/NC Mountains loop. Read about alllll our other Asheville visits here. We stopped for a night in Asheville to break up the drive home from Bryson City, an hour west. But we also stopped because we love Asheville! This will be a boring post

One night in Asheville, NC (visit #18)–May Carolinas loop
We visited Asheville in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop. Read alllll of our other Asheville posts here. We spent the final night of our May trip in our favorite close-to-home RV destination, Asheville, an easy 40-minute drive north from Brevard. With just one night in the city, we focused on our standard

One night in Richmond, VA (visit #2) and three nights in Atlantic Beach, NC (visit #1)–May Carolinas loop
We visited Richmond and Atlantic Beach in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop; read about our first (Airstream) visit to Richmond way back in 2016 here. Writing up the night we spent in Richmond and the weekend we spent in Atlantic Beach has been a struggle for us, as Richmond turned out

Planning again, but shorter and sooner: May three-weeker
As some blocks of activities and obligations shift around on our Spring calendar, we’re seeing the possibility of a three-ish-week Airstream trip in May, and since I love to trip-plan, here I am to type up some ideas. Alas, we don’t have enough time to go all the way to Wind Cave. I had so

Trip planning: an excuse to go to the Rockies?
[Read the second draft of this trip proposal written in 2/26 here!] My sister gave me a super cute water bottle for my birthday, with spaces to stick pretty stickers for each national park you’ve visited. I happily decorated the bottle with 44 stickers and only later realized I made a mistake: I stuck on

Carolinas in November: Retrospective
In November 2024, we made a big loop down the South Carolina coast and back up through central SC and into the NC mountains. We had a ton of fun, ate and drank and played a lot, saw nature and art and history, and would love to do a variation on this trip again in

Two nights in Asheville, NC (visit #17)–Carolinas in November trip
We visited Asheville in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. Read alllll of our other Asheville posts here. We were nervous and excited to return to Asheville for our first post-Helene visit. Our favorite part of town, the River Arts District, was decimated by the flooding, and many of the old warehouses

One night in Greenville, SC (visit #2)–Carolinas in November trip
We visited Greenville in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. Read about our previous visit seven (?!) years ago here. From Columbia, it’s just under two hours of interstate driving to Greenville. Why Greenville? It’s a cool little city in Upstate South Carolina, about halfway between Charlotte and Atlanta, in the

One night in Columbia, SC–Carolinas in November trip
We visited Columbia in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. The main reason we wanted to go to Columbia on our way from the coast to the mountains was Congaree National Park. Yes, there’s a national park hidden away in central South Carolina! Columbia is also the state capital, is the
