What Happens In Gordon (Stays in Gordon)

So this weekend, we were able to escape to stay with our friends Elyse and Heath (and Teddy and Chester) at their amazing place in Gordon, Wisconsin — and it was just about perfect!

They acquired the property last year — with the help of our friend Brian who really knows how to sell a place — "A junkyard along railroad tracks with a condemned bridge and unclear title; what's not to love?" But seriously, he knew it would be the perfect place for them and he was totally right, and I am so excited for everything they have done, and will continue to do with it. Someday I'll tell the whole story of it, because it's amazing. They are the perfect stewards for this very important, historic property.

Just look at the adorable rooms we got to sleep in!



Let's just say a weekend filled with cabin tours, hanging out along the river at their place and various other cabins, exploring historic properties, spending time with Heath and Elyse but also with tons of other friends we ran into up there, eating good food, cold water swimming, jumping off the bridge, hiking the old stagecoach trail as dusk fell, touring the museum and depot, eating at the Buckhorn, exploring "ancient ruins," shopping an antique stores, sitting out at night around a table drinking and talking and solving the world's problems, drinking rhubarbaritas, laughing with the kids, exploring the river for artifacts, and enjoying the scenery, was pretty much the exact kind of weekend I needed right now.




I can hardly wait to go back.
