    Three days in Asheville, NC (visit #7)–Misty Mountain Week trip

    We were in Asheville in September 2019; we also visited Fayetteville and the Misty Mountain Music Festival on this week away.

    Two days in Nashville, TN (visit #4)–Big Trip #2

    We were in Nashville in December 2018, as part of Big Trip #2. Read about our favorites from all six of our Nashville visits here.

    Big Trip #2 catch-up

    We were on Big Trip #2 in fall of 2018. Okay, so we’ve been back home in VA for a month now and I’m still writing about Utah and Arizona. It’s fun to relive our adventures in the Western sun, sitting here in gloomy Virginia where it’s threatening to sleet later today. Maybe we should…

    One day in Omaha, NE–Big Trip #2

    We were in Omaha in October 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. We were in Kansas City, headed for Denver, so it seemed the logical next stop was Omaha. Neither of us knew much about the city, other than the College World Series is held there (because we come from a school that won…
