  • 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…

    Urban camping in Atlanta (visit #1)–Winter Loop to Austin

    We visited Atlanta in January 2017 as part of our Winter Loop to Austin. Read about our subsequent trips: visit #2, visit #3, visit #4 and 5, visit #6, and visit #7! We love it when friends let us park the Airstream at their houses, like we did in Denver and Burlington. We’re basically as close…

  • One day in Louisville, KY–Big Trip #1

    One day in Louisville, KY–Big Trip #1

    We visited Louisville in June 2016 during Big Trip #1. It’s a bit of an exaggeration to say we were in Louisville for one day. We arrived in late afternoon and left in late morning, but we managed to fit in a little bit of exploring. Louisville seems like a fun town; I’d like to…

    Three days in Houghton, MI–Big Trip #1

    We visited Houghton in late May 2016, as part of Big Trip #1. Raise your hand if you can point out Michigan’s Upper Peninsula on a map. Anyone? Yeah, I couldn’t either. Michigan is often referred to as the Mitten State, because, well, look at it and you’ll see the mitten and thumb. But look closer and you’ll…

  • Three days in Santa Fe–Big Trip #1

    Three days in Santa Fe–Big Trip #1

    We visited Santa Fe in March 2016 as part of Big Trip #1. We had a fantastic stay in Santa Fe, but we struggled a bit to get a real feel for the city. There are several distinct neighborhoods, connected by highways and strip mall corridors. Downtown is touristy; the Railyard District has a mix of…
