WHY DO WE AIRSTREAM? There are so many reasons! For us, we found traveling east through Tennessee and into the Carolinas extra special as autumn in these states is wildly colorful and such an unexpected and welcomed surprise. When you roll in an Airstream, the possibilities are endless to explore new states; attend Airstream ralliesContinue reading “Why do we Airstream?”

Tennessee Travels
TENNESSEE TRAVELS are always filled with sweet surprises and this one didn’t disappoint. I always look forward to a return trip to peel back more layers and discover new-to-me history found in Music City USA. After settling in at one of our favorite Corp of Engineers (COE) parks on J. Percy Priest Lake, it wasContinue reading “Tennessee Travels”
Wright and Byam
WHEN THE TWO WORLDS OF ICONIC CREATORS BORN IN 19TH CENTURY AMERICA COLLIDE as people come from across the United States to celebrate these two creative souls, we knew we were in for a fabulous weekend. Frank Lloyd Wright, born in 1867, became one of the most notable designers of homes beginning with his lowContinue reading “Wright and Byam”
John Wayne, American Film Legend
ON OUR DRIVE TO OKLAHOMA, WE MADE A SPECIAL STOP IN WINTERSET, IOWA. Home to Madison County’s numerous covered bridges it is also the hometown of film legend, Marion Robert Morrison, better known as John Wayne. There are only a handful of museums Jim will visit and this was one!
It’s Time to Roll!
WHEN THE GEESE FLY SOUTH (with the help of Piper, who just turned 11) and you have a home on wheels, it’s time to roll. We have had a beautiful summer spent mostly at the Minnesota Airstream Park; with time enjoyably shared with decades-long friends in the Twin Cities; and my first ever visit toContinue reading “It’s Time to Roll!”
Island Fever
ONE OF THESE DAYS it will be you, me and a bunch of friends with the only requirement an island, flip flops and a Tiki Bar. Until then, Kenny Chesney, it’s the entire Vikings football stadium in Minneapolis!
Serendipity
When you’re camping in Maine with 950 Airstreams and one Bestie, and you discover Keith Urban is playing just across the state line, in New Hampshire…it was simply meant to be. I had a blast with Mo and so enjoyed our Girls Night Out at the Gunstock Lodge and the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion,Continue reading “Serendipity”
The Root Beer Lady
TOURING ELY, MINNESOTA I stumbled upon someone who appeared part folklore, a bit unicorn, yet 100% real; someone who would have simply nailed any ‘survivor show’ by taking first place and leaving all the young contestants scratching their heads. Little did I know about this trail-blazing, entrepreneurial woman and the life she led, alone, inContinue reading “The Root Beer Lady”
‘Up North’
PURE. BLISS. For a Minnesotan, ‘Up North’ is a state of mind as much as it is a location. Growing up in the North Star state, the epitome of ‘Living the Good Life’ was always intertwined with cabin life, however, a cabin on a lake and you have achieved pure bliss! Having left the 32ndContinue reading “‘Up North’”
