    Austin: Exploring the City–Winter Loop to Austin

    This post is from our visit in January 2017 when we took a Winter Loop to Austin trip! We loved Austin. Did I mention that when telling you about our eating and drinking exploits there? It may not seem like it from my other Austin posts, but we actually did a lot around the city that…

    We visited Austin in January 2017 as part of our Winter Loop to Austin trip. Read about our subsequent visits in 2018, 2019, early 2021, during the snowpocalypse in late 2021, and in 2024. We loved Austin so much! I have too many words to type about the city and all the eating, drinking, and exploring that…

  • 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

    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

    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…

  • A half day in Waco, TX–Big Trip #1

    A half day in Waco, TX–Big Trip #1

    We visited Waco in March 2016 as part of Big Trip #1. No offense to Waco, but we didn’t seek it out as a specific destination, rather as a stopover to break up the drive from Hot Springs to Fredericksburg, TX. We didn’t expect to do much there, but we had a good time! Camping…
