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,…

We were in West Memphis in mid-November 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Read about our two previous trips to Memphis in 2020 here and 2017 here, and our subsequent visit in 2023 here. This is one of my favorite quick stops on the I-40 slog through the middle of the country, and as we…

One night in Tulsa, OK–Big Trip #4
We were in Tulsa in early November 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Read about our second visit in 2023 here. Tulsa’s not quiiiite on the way home to VA from AZ, but it’s well worth the extra hour of driving if you’re traveling I-40 through Oklahoma, as we were when heading from Sayre to…

Three nights in Palm Springs, CA–Big Trip #4
We were in Palm Springs in late October 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. The main reason we wanted to go to Palm Springs as we headed east from Oceanside on the coast was for its signature Desert Modern architecture–the local spin on mid-century modern, adapted for a sunny, leisurely lifestyle. J also wanted to…

Two nights in Ventura, CA–Big Trip #4
We visited Ventura in late October 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Ventura was really only on our radar because friends had lived there until a few years ago, and they adored it, and they are cool people, so we should like it, right? Right! We loved it. Ventura’s a surprisingly quiet surf town…

Two nights in Santa Cruz, CA–Big Trip #4
We were in Santa Cruz in mid-October 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. We made it to the California coast! Our original itinerary had us staying in Monterey at Monterey County Fair RV Park, but they scheduled an event overtop of our stay and canceled everyone’s reservations. Nice. So we reevaluated and decided that…

One night in Reno, NV–Big Trip #4
We stayed in Reno in early October 2022 as part of Big Trip #4. Our friends moved to Reno several years ago for many reasons: they loved the climate, they loved that it’s an easy flight to all sorts of cool locations out West, they loved the proximity to Lake Tahoe (our previous location), they…

Three nights in Bend, OR–Big Trip #4
We visited Bend in late September 2022 as part of Big Trip #4. You can’t drive from Mount Rainier to Crater Lake and not stop in Bend! Everything you’ve read about Bend’s coolness is true. We loved it. Mountains, waterfalls, cute neighborhoods, the Deschutes River running through the city, multiple food truck pods (!), and…

Two nights in Fargo, ND (visit #2)–Big Trip #4
We were in Fargo in early September 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Read about our first trip to Fargo in 2020 here. The drive to Fargo from Grand Rapids was a pretty one, through forests and past lakes on smaller roads. We arrived in Fargo at one of our favorite campgrounds with a simple…
