  • One night in Tulsa, OK (visit #2) — Tucson for Christmas Trip

    One night in Tulsa, OK (visit #2) — Tucson for Christmas Trip

    We visited Tulsa in December 2023 as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Read about our previous visit in 2022 here. From Memphis, it was a long interstate day. 5 hours 30 minutes–UGH. Tulsa is a bit of a diversion from the I-40 trek out west, but we think it’s worth it! Campground Last…

    One night in Memphis, TN (visit #4) — Tucson for Christmas Trip

    We visited Memphis in December 2023 as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Read about our first visit in 2017 here, our second in 2020 here, and our third in 2022 here. From Bowling Green, it’s a four-hour interstate drive to Memphis… or should I say West Memphis, AR, where our campground is located, and…

    One night in Knoxville, TN — Tucson for Christmas Trip

    We were in Knoxville in mid-December 2023, as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Our Tucson for Christmas trip has begun! We’re heading west–I’m typing this from cold, rainy Amarillo, and I hit publish in Arizona! Since we’re rushing out West as quickly as reasonably possible, we replaced our usual first stop of Asheville…

    Two nights in Asheville, NC (visit #14)–Quickie to the Mountains trip

    We were in Asheville in mid-November 2023, as part of our fall quickie to the mountains trip. We also visited Black Mountain on this trip. We love Asheville, as you know if you’ve previously spent even two minutes perusing this website. We love the food, we love the beer, we love the cocktail bars, we…

  • Trip planning: Fall quickie to the mountains

    Trip planning: Fall quickie to the mountains

    Based on this planning post we ended up going to Asheville and Black Mountain in November 2023. It was a pretty good excuse for a little Airstream trip: My sister was having a big Thanksgiving gathering at her house in central NC, so obviously we should take our trailer and tack on a few days…

  • Tucson Favorites

    Tucson Favorites

    Tucson is one of our very favorite cities to visit. It’s tied to our past: J’s brother and his family lived there for twenty years until about ten years ago; and for as long as I can remember, my Uncle Jim has been in love with the Arizona desert and has made frequent pilgrimages to…

    Trip planning recommendations: DC-area to Yellowstone

    Hi strangers! Long time, not much posting. We’re just coming out of the doldrums of summer here in VA, sweating and dreaming about our next big Airstream trip coming up in December. In the meantime, I wanted to write up some advice we gave a very special someone earlier this summer when she asked for…

    Trip planning: Spring quickie to the mountains

    We went on this little trip in April 2023. This post has been edited to include where we actually went! We haven’t had the Airstream out since November (despite only finishing the Big Trip #4 posts just a few weeks ago–it took us a while to write everything up!), and we’re itching to hit the…

  • Big Trip #4: Retrospective

    Big Trip #4: Retrospective

    Big Trip #4 was in fact a BIG trip! We covered a lot of ground and had all sorts of memorable experiences, and that’s why it took me almost four months to finish writing all the trip posts. My bad. But I love writing these retrospectives a few months after we get home because it…

  • One night in Nashville, TN (visit #6)–Big Trip #4

    One night in Nashville, TN (visit #6)–Big Trip #4

    We were in Nashville in mid-November 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Read about our favorites from our five previous trips here. We’ve now taken the Airstream to Nashville six times… but we may not return. Why? We love Nashville, but part of the reason is because we loved our campground at the Nashville Fairgrounds,…
