Boulder
Oh how I love Boulder, Colorado! I went to the University of Colorado (CU) for college so I lived in Boulder for four blissful years! First off, if you are thinking about where to attend college, I cannot recommend CU enough… the campus is gorgeous, the people are incredible, and the town is one of the best college towns you’ll find! The friends I made at Boulder are still some of my very best friends today. I’m lucky enough to travel back to Boulder often to see friends throughout the year, to gather for football games in the fall, to congregate before ski weekends in the winter, and to celebrate for weddings in the summer. Set against the Flatiron Mountains, Boulder is a beautiful town with a plethora of incredible restaurants, unbeatable hiking, and an adorable outdoor walking street called Pearl Street! I recommend visiting Boulder between mid-May and the end of October for gorgeous summer and fall weather. The football stadium has wonderful views of the Flatirons so visiting for a home football game is high on my list (you get to see Ralphie run!).

Santo
The chef, Hosea Rosenberg's, love for his hometown of Taos, New Mexico is clear the minute you walk into Santo. It's a warm, rustic yet modern style eatery with the best New Mexican eats. I recommend the green chili hamburger, blue corn enchiladas, and anything from the amazing tequila list! -

Cured
Cured is a gourmet grocery store & cafe known for their excellent selection of hand-picked cheese, charcuterie, & wine but they also have the best artisanal breakfast sandwiches! I also highly recommend getting one of their meat and cheese picnics + a bottle of wine to go before a Red Rocks show or night of music at Chautauqua.

St Julien
This is the place to stay in Boulder! I literally smile every time I walk in this hotel. The beds are so comfy. The spa is great. They have live music on weekends (in the summer it's outside). They have a great hotel bar - I frequent it when I go back to visit college friends. I promise, you'll love this hotel!

Walk around the University of Colorado
Go Buffs! I love my alma mater so much and I think it is the most beautiful campus. The school owns a Colorado mine so every brick of every building is the same gorgeous red color. The campus has creeks running through it, is covered in red, yellow, and orange leaves in the fall, looks so peaceful in a blanket of snow, is bursting with wildflowers in the spring and summer, and has breathtaking views of the Flatiron Mountains. Clearly, I'm in love! P.S. if you're in high school, go to Boulder and pledge Kappa!
