    Five days in Asheville, NC (visit #3)

    We visited Asheville in April 2017 while full-timing in the Airstream in Virginia. We’ve written a bunch of Asheville posts; see our Asheville favorites here! We love Asheville. Have I mentioned that? This was our third and longest visit yet, and it has officially become our long weekend getaway destination of choice, for the reasonable driving…

  • Three days in Wilmington, NC

    Three days in Wilmington, NC

    We visited Wilmington in February 2017 while full-timing in the Airstream in Virginia. Our trek from Central VA to Wilmington, NC went through our friends’ driveway in Virginia Beach. It’s not the most direct route, but it was the ideal one for us. Bugsy rabidly enjoyed her first true beach experience and the humans were…

    AirstreamDog’s Tips For Traveling With Your Dog

    We are very lucky that Bugsy is a great traveler! She’s happy as a clam sleeping on her comfy dog bed in a crate in the car, and when we leave her in the Airstream when we go out on the town, she’ll lounge on the humans’ bed and watch the campground world go by…

    First post-Big Trip #1 trip: Three days in Damascus, VA

    We first visited Damascus in August 2016. Read about our second visit in September 2023 here. After wrapping up Big Trip #1 in mid-June, we made plans to take the Airstream to a music festival in late August, so in early August we went camping for a few days to make sure everything still worked and we…

  • One day in Mackinaw City, MI–Big Trip #1

    One day in Mackinaw City, MI–Big Trip #1

    We visited Mackinaw City in May 2016 during Big Trip #1. Here’s another pronunciation lesson for you, courtesy of the State of Michigan: Cross the Straits of Mackinac on the Mackinac Bridge into Mackinaw City, which is a short boat ride from Mackinac Island, and they are all said Mackinaw… even though Mackinac is much catchier,…

    Three days in Grand Junction, CO–Big Trip #1

    We visited Grand Junction in April 2016, during Big Trip #1. So this is the point in our story where the random day in Moab slots in: the morning we were to leave Cortez, with the sketchy weather forecast in mind, we checked the highway conditions on the way to Ridgway, where we had planned…

  • Four days in Durango, CO (visit #1)–Big Trip #1

    Four days in Durango, CO (visit #1)–Big Trip #1

    We visited Durango in April 2016, during Big Trip #1. Read here about our second visit in 2020, during Big Trip #3. Durango, like Flagstaff, is a town that we could see ourselves living in. Super outdoorsy, with breweries and restaurants and a neat little downtown area. This was another place where we extended our…

  • Goosenecks State Park, UT

    Goosenecks State Park, UT

    We visited Goosenecks SP in April 2016, during Big Trip #1. Goosenecks State Park is a must-see if you’re in the Monument Valley/Bluff area. The hike down to the river, however, is not so satisfying. Let’s start with the park: it’s a small park, just trails along the rim of the canyon, with incredible views…

  • Monument Valley, AZ

    Monument Valley, AZ

    We visited Monument Valley in April 2016, during Big Trip #1. At first glance on the internet, it seems that if you don’t do a guided tour of Monument Valley, you can’t really do anything at all there. So we lined up a guided tour with Black’s Monument Valley Tours, arranging a private tour for…

    Two nights at Dead Horse Point State Park–Big Trip #1

    We visited Dead Horse Point SP in April 2016 during Big Trip #1. Read about our second visit in November 2018 here, as part of Big Trip #2. I will not comment on the name of this park, or its possible origin. I will comment on it’s unbelievable gorgeousness. It’s across the eastern canyon of Canyonlands…
