    One night in Memphis, TN (visit #4) — Tucson for Christmas Trip

    We visited Memphis in December 2023 as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Read about our first visit in 2017 here, our second in 2020 here, and our third in 2022 here. From Bowling Green, it’s a four-hour interstate drive to Memphis… or should I say West Memphis, AR, where our campground is located, and…

    One night in Knoxville, TN — Tucson for Christmas Trip

    We were in Knoxville in mid-December 2023, as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Our Tucson for Christmas trip has begun! We’re heading west–I’m typing this from cold, rainy Amarillo, and I hit publish in Arizona! Since we’re rushing out West as quickly as reasonably possible, we replaced our usual first stop of Asheville…

    One night in Nashville, TN (visit #6)–Big Trip #4

    We were in Nashville in mid-November 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Read about our favorites from our five previous trips here. We’ve now taken the Airstream to Nashville six times… but we may not return. Why? We love Nashville, but part of the reason is because we loved our campground at the Nashville Fairgrounds,…

    Nashville Favorites

    This post is based on our six visits to Nashville from 2017 to 2022. As of this writing (mid-2022), we’ve taken the Airstream to Nashville six times: It’s a lot easier to read about our Nashville favorites in one place, rather than dig through multiple posts, so here we’ll pull together the highlights of all…

    One night in Erwin, TN–Quickie Fall Loop

    We were in Erwin in November 2021, as part of our quickie fall loop from Erwin to Asheville to Lake Lure, NC. Read about our second visit in September 2023 here. I say “in Erwin, TN,” but we didn’t actually go into Erwin proper. We did see a sign for Union Street Taproom, so there’s…

    One day in Pigeon Forge, TN–Big Trip #3

    We were in Pigeon Forge in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3.  Pigeon Forge (and Gatlinburg next door), to us, is only worth visiting as a gateway to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We did not like the town at all, but if you have read this blog at all you should not be…
