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…

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…

Big Trip #3 Retrospective
Big Trip #3 was in Fall 2020; you should also read about Big Trip #1 in 2016, Big Trip #2 in 2018, and Big Trip #4 in 2022! This trip was a little weird. Wildfires altered our route: our initial trip plans included Oregon and California, but after experiencing the smoke in Montana, we rerouted.…

Big Trip #2: Retrospective
Big Trip #2 was in Fall of 2018; you should also read about Big Trip #1 in 2016, Big Trip #3 in 2020, and Big Trip #4 in 2022! Our final stop on Big Trip #2 was Asheville for one night, but I already listed our activities there on the Big Trip #2 Catch-up post,…

Trip planning: Southwest for the late fall–Big Trip #2
This planning post was for what became Big Trip #2 in late 2018. Read the trip retrospective here! We haven’t even started our next Airstream trip (leaving next week!) (possibly subbing Babcock State Park in WV for Nashville as the TN State Fair has bumped us from our preferred campground at the Fairgrounds Nashville), but…

Airstream Living: Organization
(That picture is from when we loaded our new Airstream for our first trip, two years ago!) This time of year, everyone is interested in organization and streamlining their homes, right? Those concepts are especially important when you live in a tiny house, and even more so when you share your tiny house with another…

A Year with an Airstream
(Look how shiny it was when we first picked it up! It’s not that shiny today.) One year ago we had just picked up our brand new Airstream from the dealership and spent a couple days at a nearby state park outfitting the trailer and practicing camping. Since then, we’ve done several regional short trips…

Big Trip #1: Retrospective

We finally picked our Airstream
After weeks and weeks of research, questions, pro/con lists, and hours spent sitting in a trailer of one floorplan, then the other, then puttering around the kitchen of one, then the other… we made a decision. We chose a 2016 27FB International Serenity. After initially considering a 19′, then 23′, then 25′, as soon as I…

Where we started…
J and I love to travel. We’ve been all over the world on one- or two-week vacations, but our dream for many years has been to take a camper across the US for a few months and see more of our own country. The US is so big that unless you have a lot of time…
