Welcome to the ‘bunk house’ – According to the 1928 Wisconsin motor hotel guide that we just discovered, it was originally called “Wandawega Hotel” & licensed as a “tourist rooming house” /// 3 floors. 12 bedrooms. 2 kitchens. 4 baths. mens + women’s showers. 2 Communal Lounges. 1 diningroom. (But still to this day, still no modern conveniences) So if you want AC, open a window.

Charlie spent this morning ‘reading’ Frankie the new @anthologymag that just arrived on our doorstep. So to see the camp feature – it’s sorta “city mouse / country mouse” – a tale about split living between chicago & wisco— (while trying to figure out this whole parenting / life balance thing) Still trying. (Story on today’s profile link) #InspirationMorning #grateful

Anthology Magazine comes to Camp. (and Chicago).

Charlie spent this morning ‘reading’ Frankie this fun little issue that just arrived on our doorstep. A city mouse / country mouse story in the new issue of Anthology mag– they paid us a visit at home and then took a road trip to camp. (thanks, Anthology! come back and visit anytime:) xo, Tereasa, David, Charlie & Frankie Anthologymagazine.com
