Bolder Boulder

Don’t forget to check out my giveaway for some amazing Wholesome Foods Bakery bars!!! You have until today at 5pm Mountain Standard Time, and I’ll announce the winner on Friday morning!


Hey y’all!!!  Hope your Wednesday was as good as mine 🙂  Nothing like being able to take a half day and then go tromp around Boulder with my sister!  After I left work Salah, Chad, and I went to Chautauqua Park to try and hike the 1st Flatiron.  Note the word try.  We made it about 1/3 of the way up before we decided that it would be too dangerous to go any further since the trail would ice over.  So we stopped and took pictures instead!

The good news is it was a gorgeous day and we did have a lot of fun!  AND I found a new trail for when we go hiking in the summer 🙂  Then we went to Amante Coffee in Boulder for some iced coffee:

We walked and sat down by Boulder Creek for a few minutes in the sunshine for a bit, and then headed towards Pearl Street Mall.  Then we took that party to Tees & Cakes, one of the coolest cupcakes shops EVER! 

Jessica, this made me think of you:

And they had onesies for the babies 🙂

They had an awesome selection of cupcakes and bite-size babycakes:

I finally decided on an Irish Creme cupcake:

Such a pretty table too!

After our little snack we decided to head on over to Hapa Sushi for happy hour dinner.  Hapa is the first place I ever tried sushi, and it’s still my favorite!  I was a little bummed that I couldn’t have any fish, but all of the courses were still fabulous.  I didn’t eat all of these, but Nate, Salah, Chad, and I all shared them.  First up, miso soup:

Seaweed salad (HEAVEN):

Some tempura veggies:

And then this weird ball of grilled rice surrounded by teriyaki sauce.  ‘Twas interesting:

There was some unpictured spicy edemame, and then the fish-eaters had calamari:

We ordered a TON of rolls!  I had a cucumber/avocado roll and a veggie roll:

We finished up with some moshi balls:

They were super nice and split them all 4 ways so we could all try a piece!

I absolutely LOVE Boulder…it’s such a fun city to get to know 🙂  There are definitely some interesting people out and about all the time, and everyone’s so friendly.  I don’t know if we could ever actually live there, but it’s so nice to work there!  I haven’t had breakfast yet, but we are getting ready to go skiing!  It’s going to be Salah’s first time 🙂  I’m excited to hang out and watch her learn…she’s going to rock it!

What’s you’re favorite outdoor activity to do?  If you could learn any new sport, what would it be? I love love LOVE hiking…it’s such a challenge, and then you get a great view at the end!  What’s not to like?  And if I could pick any new sport to learn, it would probably be either surfing (which I’ve done before but definitely am not a pro at) or rugby (to cater to my extreme competitive streak ;)).  Hope y’all have a fabulous Thursday!

    i love the pics of the snow! it looks so pretty….i see you are in short sleeves and your sister is in shorts…was it warm? hobby?! i would say we are really interested in getting into mountain climbing. we just watched EVEREST seasons 1 and 2 and we’re hooked. it looks so challenging, but so exciting. we also just watched kilamenjaro on MTV with jessica biel, where they are hiking the mountain to educate people on awareness of the poor contaminated water conditions in africa. so sad.

    Raymond and I tried to back country camp in the rockies in 2006 and got snowed in and had to get out of the trails since we didn’t have snowshoeing shoes. So instead him and his body climbed the flat irons… I wasn’t really itnrested in it.. I actually am glad I wasn’t there to watch them..

    My favorite outdoor activity is hiking or just playing with my daughter. 🙂 Your fun in Boulder looked like a great way to spend time as well.

    New sport? Hmmm….I guess I would have to say skiing. I’ve never been in a lot of snow and think that would be cool. Or wakeboarding since that is more realistic living right by a lake. 🙂

      oh, lakes are SO FUN! i’ve never done wakeboarding/waterskiing (tried once – epic fail) and i think that would be so fun to try!

    How fun…I haven’t ever been to Boulder but I have heard that it is such a cute and fun city! Ah…one day I will make it there!

    I would love to learn how to surf! The husband and I took surfing lessons in Hawaii and it was SO fun!
