Everglades National Park
We spent two days in the Everglades in January 2022, during our Florida in January trip. The drive from Key West to Everglades National Park was about three hours, but we broke it up with an early stop at Baby’s Coffee for coffee and a pizza bagel. The coffee is good and the pizza bagels…

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…

One night in Juno Beach, FL–Florida in January trip
We were in Juno Beach in January 2022 as part of our Florida in January trip. After leaving Atlanta, we were in a rush to get to Key West, over twelve hours away. We decided to suck it up and have one loooong day of driving and one more sane driving day… so this was…

Trip planning: Florida in January
Are we officially snowbirds? Wikipedia’s definition includes us: “A snowbird is a person who migrates from the colder northern parts of North America to warmer southern locales, typically during the winter… A significant portion of the snowbird community is made up of recreational vehicle users (RVers).” So then yes, we’re happily snowbirds, leaving gloomy Virginia in gloomy January for…

Two nights in Bronson, FL–Winter Warmth trip
We were in Bronson in February 2021 during our Winter Warmth Trip. Read about our second visit in 2022 here. This horse girl has always wanted to visit Ocala, the Horse Capital of the World. Might as well swing through the area on the way from Eastpoint, on the panhandle, to Atlanta. Well, it’s kind…

One night in Eastpoint, FL (visit #2)–Winter Warmth trip
We were in Eastpoint in February 2021 during our Winter Warmth trip. Read about our previous visit in 2020 here. Florida’s Forgotten Coast is a real hidden gem! It’s much quieter and less commercial than your average Florida coastal area, with small towns and powder-sand beaches, seafood galore, and a wonderful state park. We love…

One night in Pensacola Beach, FL–Winter Warmth trip
We were in Pensacola Beach in February 2021 during our Winter Warmth trip. We left New Orleans heading toward Eastpoint, FL with a one-night gap in our itinerary to fill. Pensacola is about halfway between the two towns, and there’s an RV campground at Pensacola Beach that looked promising and had an available site. We…

Three days in Eastpoint, FL (visit #1)–Southeast Lollipop trip
We were in Eastpoint in early January 2020 as part of our Southeast Lollipop trip. Read about our second visit in February 2021 here. From St Augustine, it was an uneventful 4.5-hour drive across the top of Florida to Eastpoint, on the so-called Forgotten Coast of Florida’s panhandle. This area feels completely different to other parts…

Four days in St Augustine, FL (visit #1)–Southeast Lollipop trip
We were in St Augustine as part of our Southeast Lollipop trip in January 2020. Read about our second visit in 2022 here. Pretty little St Augustine is VERY touristy, especially around the holidays. Here’s the first impression I jotted down on our initial trip into downtown: “Holy hell people everywhere.” The holiday crowds were…

Trip planning: Quick Southeast lollipop in January
This planning post was for a trip down through the Southeast to New Orleans in January 2020. Needing to be in Atlanta in January is a good excuse to un-winterize the Airstream and spend a couple weeks in warmer climes. Here’s what we’re thinking for maximizing sunshine, nature, food, and drink: As you know if…
