I Love Lamp: Glamping! — Casey Scieszka

Today Steven and I are headed off to a lake in the Adirondacks to get our camping on! We're taking over a small island with ten friends and coolers full of refreshments. Unsurprisingly, I'm looking to turn this experience into glamping. For those of you not in the know, that is a totally real word made from glamour and camping. Think:

Unfortunately, at the moment our tent situation looks more like this:

(We were giving it a test run in the living room today. Funnily enough, last time we used it we were driving cross-country and one night our camping plans got nipped in the bud when we heard it was going to reach below freezing. So we set up our tent in a hotel room instead. FUN.)

I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to bridge this gap between camping and glamping, but I know at the very least it's going to involve our hammock and a funky waterproof Malian rug we use on picnics. I'll post photos next week of how it goes!
