Florida in January: Retrospective
We were in Florida from 1/2 to 2/2/2022. It seems obvious, but: spending January in a warm place is a great idea. We weren’t sure if we’d like spending so much time in Florida, and while we didn’t love all of the Florida we saw, we did love some and would return to a few…

One night in Savannah, GA (visit #2)–Florida in January trip
We were in Savannah in February 2022 as part of our Florida in January trip. Read about our first visit to Savannah in 2017 here. Savannah was the last official stop on our Florida trip; after Savannah, we parked in my sister’s driveway in NC for a night, and then went home. Originally we’d planned on two…

Two nights in Atlanta, GA (visit #6)–Florida in January trip
We were in Atlanta in January 2021 as part of our Florida in January trip. Atlanta was the second stop on our Florida trip, an easy (well, depending on Atlanta traffic) 3.5-hour drive from Asheville. I’m always unsure if I should include our Atlanta visits here (see the not super-detailed write-ups for visit #1 and…

One night in Lake Lure, NC–Quickie Fall Loop
We visited Lake Lure in November 2021, as part of our quickie fall loop from Erwin, TN to Asheville to Lake Lure. Lake Lure is a tiny town with a pretty recreational lake nestled in the mountains less than an hour from Asheville. There’s not much to the town that isn’t lake-related, so in the off-season,…

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…

Four days in Boone, NC (visit #2)
We visited Boone in August 2021. Read about our first visit to Boone in May 2021 here, and our third in September 2023 here. We also visited Floyd, VA on this trip. After spending two nights in Boone in May, we knew we had to go back and explore more. We barely scratched the surface…

Trip planning: NC/WV/VA RV caravan with friends!
Oh boy! This will be a different kind of trip for us! While we’re mostly spending time in places we’ve been before, we’re doing it in a new way: our besties have rented an RV and will be parking next to us! We finally convinced our friends to try RVing and they’re hooked. She has…
