  • Two nights in Santa Cruz, CA–Big Trip #4

    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

    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

    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…

  • Two nights in Madison, WI–Big Trip #4

    Two nights in Madison, WI–Big Trip #4

    We were in Madison in August 2022 as part of Big Trip #4 When planning Big Trip #4, we only gave ourselves one night in Madison, and pretty quickly regretted that decision. And then–good news!–we wanted to leave Michigan City a day early, so we ended up with two nights in Madison. It’s a fun…

  • Portland, ME addendum: two nights in Portland sans Bugsy and Airstream

    Portland, ME addendum: two nights in Portland sans Bugsy and Airstream

    We visited Portland in July 2022. Read about our first visit with Bugsy and the Airstream in 2019 here! I feel like I’m cheating by writing an AirstreamDog post about a trip we took without either the Airstream or the Dog, but we wanted to update our previous Portland post because we were able to…

  • Nashville Favorites

    Nashville Favorites

    This post is based on our six visits to Nashville from 2017 to 2022. As of this writing (mid-2022), we’ve taken the Airstream to Nashville six times: It’s a lot easier to read about our Nashville favorites in one place, rather than dig through multiple posts, so here we’ll pull together the highlights of all…

  • Florida in January: Retrospective

    Florida in January: Retrospective

    We were in Florida from 1/2 to 2/2/2022. It seems obvious, but: spending January in a warm place is a great idea. We weren’t sure if we’d like spending so much time in Florida, and while we didn’t love all of the Florida we saw, we did love some and would return to a few…

    One night in Savannah, GA (visit #2)–Florida in January trip

    We were in Savannah in February 2022 as part of our Florida in January trip. Read about our first visit to Savannah in 2017 here. Savannah was the last official stop on our Florida trip; after Savannah, we parked in my sister’s driveway in NC for a night, and then went home. Originally we’d planned on two…

  • A week in Key West, FL–Florida in January trip

    A week in Key West, FL–Florida in January trip

    We were in Key West in January 2022, as part of our Florida in January trip. Our week in Key West might be the longest we’ve ever camped in one place, other than when we lived in the Airstream for six months. We figured we should stay awhile since it’s so far away, and because…
