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

Two nights at Lost Dutchman State Park, AZ–Winter Warmth trip
We were in Lost Dutchman in February 2021, as part of our Winter Warmth Trip. Lucky us: we left one absurdly beautiful Arizona state park and headed to another. From Catalina State Park just north of Tucson it’s a 1.5-hour drive up to Lost Dutchman State Park, east of Apache Junction, a suburb of Phoenix.

Two nights in Catalina State Park, AZ–Winter Warmth trip
We were in Catalina in February 2021, as part of our Winter Warmth Trip. Read about our second visit in 2023 here. If you’re anywhere near Tucson, just go to Catalina State Park. Just go! Only about 20 minutes north of Tucson, Catalina is insanely gorgeous, the hikes are (mostly) dog-friendly, and the campground is

One night at Ridgway State Park, CO–Big Trip #3
We visited Ridgway in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Ridgway State Park has been on our wish list map since our first Big Trip in 2016, and it made a good place to relax, reset, and come down from our Crested Butte high as we began the long loop toward home. The main

Big Trip #3 Catch-up #3
We’re home! I’m going to get all the posts up eventually–my computer is only working intermittently, so I have a new excuse for being slow to post–but wanted to catch you up on our last several stops as we popped around Colorado and then hopped back across the country toward home. (Here are catch-up #1

Theodore Roosevelt National Park
We visited TRNP in late summer 2020 as part of Big Trip #3, and again in late summer 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. We’ve now been to Medora, North Dakota and Theodore Roosevelt National Park twice, and both times had an incredible experience because 1) the scenery is gorgeous, and 2) it’s not

One night in New Ulm, MN–Big Trip #3
We visited New Ulm in August 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Where? Yes. We were heading to Fargo from Charles City, and didn’t want to drive a million hours, so looked for a small town with character in Minnesota to stop at for the night. Our first choice was Red Wing (no offense, New

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

Two days in Camden, Maine–Acadia Loop trip
We visited Camden in May 2019 during our Acadia National Park trip. Campground After leaving Bar Harbor, we wanted to explore Central Maine’s coast, so we spent two nights at Megunticook Campground near the towns of Camden, Rockport, and Rockland. It’s a super friendly park, with a sweet doggy in the office and lots of space
