GLAMPING IN BEAUTIFUL LOCATIONS
T he allure of the great outdoors calls to many, but pitching a tent and cooking over a fire isn’t for everyone. If that describes you, consider the yurt: a small, permanent structure often outfitted with electricity, plumbing, and other modern amenities. Expertly nestled in remote locations, they provide comforts of home in the midst of nature. Here are just a few around the United States available for rent.

Spotlight on Elizabeth A. Gregory
Lawyers are cool.
Colorado, she made the switch to family law, an area she found much more fulfilling.
This isn’t our opinion; it’s a fact supported by evidence from Johnson Law Group’s senior associate, Elizabeth Gregory. Elizabeth swam competitively in college and became an attorney because both of her swim coaches were lawyers and were, in Elizabeth’s words, “the coolest people.”
“With family law, I’m helping people through what is potentially the most difficult thing they’ll face in their lives,” she explains. “It’s really rewarding to be the person who helps them through it.

Before getting into CrossFit, Elizabeth also won two national titles for muay thai kickboxing. While Elizabeth can’t kickbox your spouse into coming to an agreement with you, she can help you address whatever family law challenges you’re currently facing. And that sounds pretty cool to us.
