Update! We ended up buying one of the two bunkhouse alternatives I talk about below. More on that in this post. Last spring, back when we first started thinking seriously about a trailer, we went to a small RV show in Chattanooga, TN. I wrote about our experience there on the other blog, and I […]
Savannah/Coastal Georgia Trip: The Final Installment!
I can’t put it off any longer; it’s time to put our Savannah trip firmly in the past and then look forward to this year’s trips. At least some of which, I’m sure, will be just as fabulous as our Savannah trip was. This post is going to be a bit of a catch all: […]
52 Hikes in a Year
One time, several years ago, I decided to do a 52 books in a year challenge. I didn’t read 52 books that year. But I DID read way more books than I would have otherwise. Which is not nothing. So. I don’t know that we’ll really make it to 52 hikes this year. I hope […]
2016: The (Tentative) Year in Travel
I think of 2015 as the year we really got back into traveling regularly after taking some time off when Abe was tiny. We didn’t really take time off entirely, since we did a Disney trip with him when he was four months old and then a big DC road trip the summer after he […]
Wormsloe Historic Site: Savannah/Coastal Georgia Trip
I started feeling some blogging angst about how to divide up these last posts about our Savannah trip. Should I keep giving a whole new post to each place we went?! Is that overkill? Or does it make it easier for anyone out there looking for information on a particular place to find it? Does […]
Fort Pulaski National Monument and Tybee Island, briefly: Savannah/Coastal Georgia Trip
On our second full day staying at Skidaway Island, we visited Fort Pulaski National Monument and then spent a little time hanging out with some friends who happened to be spending Thanksgiving week on Tybee Island. Apparently coastal Georgia is THE place to go for places where you can let your pack of children run […]
Georgia State Railroad Museum: Savannah/Coastal Georgia Trip
We all fell in love with Savannah and this whole coastal area on this trip….much more than I expected. I’d spent some time in Savannah in college because I had a friend in school there, but the Savannah things one does when visiting friends in college are different from the Savannah things one does when […]
Skidaway Island State Park Campground Review
We had really high expectations for Skidaway Island State Park, because I kept reading reviews that said things like, “we have stayed in more than 4000 campgrounds all over the known universe, and this is the very best one.” That sort of thing. We’ve only stayed in four campgrounds in the known universe, but so […]
Tennessee State Museum, The Ryman Auditorium, and the Zoo: A Weekend in Nashville, Part 2
So when we left off in part one, we had already visited Fort Negley and the Parthenon, and it was still only lunchtime! I’m very impressed with our October selves! Our lunch mission was to find and consume some of Nashville’s famous hot chicken. On the recommendation of Amber and Nick from Wills Casa, we […]
Fort Negley and the Parthenon: A Weekend in Nashville, Part 1
Hey–new blog! I started writing this post several weeks ago for the other blog, but then I decided to save it to be the inaugural post on this, my brand spanking new travel blog. Exciting! Congratulations, Nashville! I feel like I start all my travel posts this way, but we’d never been to Nashville before […]
