Hello again from the hot and steamy south!

Dear Humidity: I didn’t miss you. Love, Anne

I had a wonderful last day out in Boulder, CO yesterday. The Fitness & Health Blogger’s Conference ended at noon and miss Ashley came to meet me and Heather for lunch and an afternoon hiking adventure!

Ashley lives over in Fort Collins, CO, which is about an hour away. It was so fun to see her again! 🙂

We started with lunch in downtown Boulder at a place called Mountain Sun Pub.

091

It was a really cool place — great vibe, great service, and great food!

096

I had the daily special “OK Divertirsi Wrap” for lunch. It was beer baked tempeh, Italian seasoned peppers and onions, parmesan cheese, fresh greens, and a roasted red pepper aioli sauce all wrapped up in a flour tortilla. 

094

SO delicious! I really love tempeh and it was super flavorful.

095

After lunch, we headed out for a hike 🙂

069

We hit up the same spot where I hiked on Friday morning — but took a different trail this time.

086

It was stunningly beautiful, once again. Hiking makes me so happy 🙂

We had a great time chatting and hiking away. I think my lungs were better adjusted to the altitude this time — a lot less huffing and puffing 😉 We spent about an hour and a half exploring!

We did a loop, and the second half of it was super rocky! Fun 🙂

Such a beautiful day to spend outside with friends. Thanks for the fun, ladies! 🙂

Oh, and guess what?! Just before we got into the car to go to the airport… an ice cream truck showed up!!!

088

Heather was clearly very pumped — and so was I! I turn into a 5 year old when I hear the ice cream truck music playing. Heather’s boyfriend Dustin bought us treats 🙂 Hello, snow cone!

089

Hehe.

I seriously cannot believe how quickly this conference weekend went by. I had such a blast getting to know some new bloggers, hanging out with old friends, and of course learning!

067

We couldn’t have had a more beautiful location, either.

Thanks for a great weekend, Fitness & Health Bloggers Conference! I’ll be back next year 😉

Thanks to all that entered! Oh, and friends, my name is spelled Anne. Not Ann. 🙂

    Best quote in the car: "Sorry, my tongue is kind of frozen right now. I can't talk very well..." heh. SO worth it! I think I drank my weight in water last night once we got home - oof. Miss you already, come back to Colorado!

    You are awesome Anne. The Rockies are beautiful but I would not like to live there because of the harsh winter's. Nice place to visit though.

    I've always heard Colorado was beautiful but never realized how beautiful it was until seeing your pictures. I am sure it's even better in person. So glad you had a great time Anne.

    You may be jealous of my jet-ski, but I'm jealous of your trip! I've never been outside the airport in Colorado and really want to go. Looks like an awesome time and great weather!
