Yurtopia

A few weeks ago, I claimed J had the coolest job in the world because he got to go to conferences at ski lodges and win free hut stays. But I also have a cool job. I freelance occasionally for a NH magazine and my latest assignment was about—you guessed it—yurts!

Not only have I enjoyed researching more about yurts in the area and growing our love for yurts, but one yurt owner invited J and I to stay for a night on the house! What can I say, but it was fabulous once again. I still lost to J at Scrabble, but I was close. A few more yurt trips and I might pull out a win.
As I mentioned, you are truly unplugged at the yurts. When we planned our yurt stay, we didn't realize it would fall exactly during the Jets game. J is a Jets fan and it's the Playoffs, making it an extra special game. He was able to listen to parts of the game using a crank-up radio, but it's all part of the the sacrifices you make in a yurt.

The unique thing about this yurt was that it's on a working farm. So we got to visit with some alpacas, who are just the cutest animals and make great socks. Maybe our yurt and breakfast will have alpacas too!
