    One night in Greenville, SC (visit #2)–Carolinas in November trip

    We visited Greenville in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. Read about our previous visit seven (?!) years ago here. From Columbia, it’s just under two hours of interstate driving to Greenville. Why Greenville? It’s a cool little city in Upstate South Carolina, about halfway between Charlotte and Atlanta, in the…

    One night in Columbia, SC–Carolinas in November trip

    We visited Columbia in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. The main reason we wanted to go to Columbia on our way from the coast to the mountains was Congaree National Park. Yes, there’s a national park hidden away in central South Carolina! Columbia is also the state capital, is the…

    Three nights in Hilton Head, SC–Carolinas in November trip

    We visited Hilton Head in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. From Beaufort, we drove less than an hour down to the next Sea Island to the south, Hilton Head. We weren’t sure what to expect there: ritzy resorts mixed with laidback locals’ joints? Ubiquitous tennis and golf culture? Beautiful beaches…

    Two nights in Beaufort, SC–Carolinas in November trip

    We visited Beaufort in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. Continuing our island hop down the coast of South Carolina, we drove 1.5 hours south from Charleston to Beaufort. Beaufort (BEW-fort, not like BO-fort, North Carolina!) is the second-oldest city in South Carolina, behind Charleston, and ahead of third-place Georgetown. But…

    Two nights in Edisto Beach, SC–Carolinas in November trip

    We visited Edisto Beach in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. From Georgetown, we drove a couple hours south to Edisto Beach, chosen for its old-school beach town feel, its scenic state park campground, and the dog-friendly beach itself. Our savvy Atlanta cousin gave us an important tip when we told…

    One night in Georgetown, SC–Carolinas in November trip

    We visited Georgetown in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip.

    One day in Greenville, SC–Short Southeast Loop

    We were in Greenville in November 2017 as part of a short Southeast loop. Read about our second visit in 2024 here. We only had 24 hours in Greenville–lunchtime to lunchtime–but we packed a lot of activity in to that time: lots of walking, followed by snacks, beer, dinner, beer, nightcap, and BISCUITS! Campground Ivy…

  • Greenville SC – Atlanta – Savannah – Charlotte – Burlington NC–Short Southeast Loop

    Greenville SC – Atlanta – Savannah – Charlotte – Burlington NC–Short Southeast Loop

    We did this little loop in November 2017. We love Airstream trip planning! Our challenge for this latest trip: plan a loop that would include visiting family in Atlanta (overlapping with the implosion of the Georgia Dome) and visiting family in Burlington, NC (overlapping with Thanksgiving). The implosion was on the Monday of Thanksgiving week, which…

    Five days in Charleston, SC

    We visited Charleston in March 2017 while full-timing in the Airstream in Virginia. Read about our second visit in 2024 here. Charleston is a beautiful and interesting city, full of history, culture, and great food and beer, and we look forward to a return visit… but without our tin can house so we can stay…
