adventures with a dog and an airstream
We are freshly home from our last trip and are itching to get back out there, so we’re thrilled to be planning a trip out west for this fall! No offense, East Coast. We started with an itinerary based on...
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...
We were in Everglades National Park from 1/10 to 1/12/2022 as part of 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...

We had a plan for the Tetons: spend a couple days in Grand Teton National Park and do some hiking in the park, then move to the Jackson Hole area for a couple days to check out Jackson and hike...
