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?
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 the Wind Cave sticker instead of Mammoth Cave. AARRRGH!!! So now we…

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…

One night in Charleston, SC (visit #2)–Carolinas in November trip
We visited Charleston in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. Read about our first trip in 2017 here. This visit was very different from the first time we took the Airstream to Charleston in 2017! Then we focused on touristy stuff in the historic district; this trip we didn’t much feel…

One night in Raleigh, NC–Carolinas in November trip
We visited Raleigh in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. At long last, we’re on the road again! It feels like forever since we’ve been out Airstreaming: our last trip was a week in the mountains of North Carolina back in May. The most recent write-ups from Asheville and Black Mountain…

Two nights in Asheville, NC (visit #16)–Spring in the NC Mountains trip
We visited Asheville in early May 2024 as part of our short Spring in the NC Mountains trip. Read alllll of our other Asheville posts here. From Franklin, in the mountains of far western North Carolina, it was only a hour’s drive to Asheville. While our focus was on hiking and exploring town during our…

Tucson for Christmas Trip: Retrospective
We were on the road from 12/10/23 to 1/14/24 for our Christmas trip to Tucson. We had some lofty goals this trip: obviously we were going to spend a solid chunk of time in Tucson for Christmas with family, but we also wanted to get all the way out to Death Valley, and hit Austin…
