One night in Myrtle Beach, SC–May Carolinas loop
We visited Myrtle Beach in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop. Flashy Myrtle Beach is an hour-and-a-half drive and a world away from laid-back Oak Island. I hadn’t been since college beach week and had no idea what to expect. We were bracing ourselves a bit for a tacky touristy or obnoxious

One night in Oak Island, NC–May Carolinas loop
We visited Oak Island in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop. In early May, my dad was wrapping up a late-winter hibernation in Southport, NC, so when planning our route down the North Carolina coast we looked for campgrounds in that area. A pleasant 2.5-hour drive south from Atlantic Beach later we

One night in Richmond, VA (visit #2) and three nights in Atlantic Beach, NC (visit #1)–May Carolinas loop
We visited Richmond and Atlantic Beach in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop; read about our first (Airstream) visit to Richmond way back in 2016 here. Writing up the night we spent in Richmond and the weekend we spent in Atlantic Beach has been a struggle for us, as Richmond turned out

Planning again, but shorter and sooner: May three-weeker
As some blocks of activities and obligations shift around on our Spring calendar, we’re seeing the possibility of a three-ish-week Airstream trip in May, and since I love to trip-plan, here I am to type up some ideas. Alas, we don’t have enough time to go all the way to Wind Cave. I had so

Trip planning: an excuse to go to the Rockies?
My sister gave me a super cute water bottle for my birthday, with spaces to stick pretty stickers for each national park you’ve visited. I happily decorated the bottle with 44 stickers and only later realized I made a mistake: I stuck on the Wind Cave sticker instead of Mammoth Cave. AARRRGH!!! So now we

Carolinas in November: Retrospective
In November 2024, we made a big loop down the South Carolina coast and back up through central SC and into the NC mountains. We had a ton of fun, ate and drank and played a lot, saw nature and art and history, and would love to do a variation on this trip again in

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. From Raleigh, it was a 3.5-hour drive down to Georgetown, the longest driving segment of our two-week trip through the Carolinas. Georgetown is the third-oldest city in South Carolina, behind Charleston and Beaufort, both stops on this Carolinas trip. It was
