Destination: Boulder, CO


Boulder, CO

Laid-back, college town set in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, and known to offer up some gorgeous, fit man-candy.  And that is precisely what the Chamber of Commerce said.

and more than 300 sunny days a year...wait, why aren't we there right now?

Pearl Street is a pedestrian-only outdoor mall area, which is a social hotspot.  Lots of street artists, etc.  There is a great farmer's market on Saturday mornings, and you can get some lovely flowers, fruit, vegetables, and they even have popcorn.

Just outside Boulder are great areas for hiking, biking and rock climbing.
