Hello! We have a quiet summer Airstream-wise and are itching to get out on the road! To scratch that itch, we’re starting to plan our next Airstream adventure in November. We have two weeks between plans in Southern Pines, NC and Burlington, NC, so that seems like a perfect opportunity to go Airstreaming. Where should…

Two nights in Black Mountain, NC (visit #2)–Spring in the NC Mountains trip
We visited Black Mountain in early May 2024 as part of our short Spring in the NC Mountains trip. Read about our first visit in 2023 here.

Two nights in Franklin, NC–Spring in the NC Mountains trip
We visited Franklin in early May 2024 as part of our short Spring in the NC Mountains trip. The first destination of our six-day let’s-take-the-Airstream-somewhere-fun trip was Franklin, NC, a small town in the mountains southwest of Asheville. We hadn’t been to Franklin before, but we enjoyed a stay in nearby Sylva several years ago,…

Trip planning: Spring in the NC mountains
The Airstream just came home from the shop–you may recall from the end of our last trip that we had a nonfunctioning hot water heater bypass, damage from the exploded tire, and a missing rock guard. Everything appears to be ship shape now, so it’s time for a road trip! As we started thinking about…

One night in Tuscaloosa, AL–Tucson for Christmas trip
We were in Tuscaloosa in January 2024, as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Between New Orleans and Atlanta (our next scheduled destination), we had an open night. Where to stop?

We visited Fredericksburg in January 2024 as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Read about our second visit in 2018 here, and our first in 2016 here. As we drove east from Las Cruces, we considered options for our next stop along I-10 on the way to Austin. Fort Stockton is just under five…

Two nights in Prescott, AZ–Tucson for Christmas trip
We visited Prescott in December 2023 as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Prescott is known for a historic and happening downtown and outdoor adventures, and we’ve long had it–and specifically the campground we stayed at–on our giant wishlist map with notes along the lines of “looks like a really cool town” and “campground seems like…

One night in Boulder City, NV–Tucson for Christmas trip
We visited Boulder City in December 2023 as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Boulder City might have been the biggest pleasant surprise of our Tucson for Christmas trip! We went there specifically to see the Hoover Dam and were delighted to find such a cute town. Also delightful: our campsite, with a spectacular view of…

We were in Bowling Green in mid-December 2023, as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. After a lovely afternoon at Mammoth Cave National Park, we drove 40 minutes to Bowling Green for the night.
