<\/p>\nI really want to write a full Healthy Living Summit 2013 debrief post, but this week probably isn’t the week to do so.\u00a0 In addition to being gone all weekend, this week is super super crazy.\u00a0 Still, I couldn’t let another day go by without sharing a little bit of my adventure.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Awesome places I ate<\/strong> Lessons I (re)learned<\/strong> Most useful summit sessions<\/strong> Minneapolis places I really enjoyed<\/strong> Awesome food served at the summit<\/strong> Attractions I didn’t check out<\/strong> Experiences I loved<\/strong> Friends I made (you know, besides everyone)<\/strong> Friends It Was Great to See (you know, besides everyone)<\/strong> Purchases I’m happy with<\/strong> I have a million more things to say, but 9:00 is seriously pushing it for bedtime this week.\u00a0 Stay tuned for a more cohesive post about my wonderful HLS trip when life settles down a bit.<\/p>\n
\n1. Chino Latino<\/a>, where I shared Popocate, Queso Fundido and Coconut Shrimp Curry with some of my blogger friends.\u00a0 All of the dishes were excellent.
\n2. The Local<\/a>, where I ordered the Patio Plate as an entree for dinner on Saturday night.\u00a0 It was the perfect choice; the cheese and the fruit were amazing.<\/p>\n
\n1.\u00a0 Drink lots of water, especially if you’re walking around in the sunshine.\u00a0 How many more times do I have to learn this one?
\n2.\u00a0 Bloggers are even more awesome in person<\/p>\n
\n1.\u00a0Lights, Camera,\u00a0 Action<\/a> – which finally inspired me to start thinking seriously about making videos
\n2. From Blog to Job<\/a> (I love my job, but there were some great tips)<\/p>\n
\n1. Target – I didn’t realize that Target was headquartered in Minneapolis until I arrived.\u00a0 So, of course, I had to wander into the two story store just blocks from our hotel.\u00a0 The most shocking thing? I didn’t spend a dime!
\n2. Fulton Brewery – A group of us made the trek out to the tasting room on Friday afternoon and it was really fun.\u00a0 In addition to yummy beer poured by very friendly and accommodating staff, we had a great time getting to know each other and eating from a nearby food truck<\/p>\n
\n1. Make Your Own Soup Bar – with a selection of ingredients and your choice of broths
\n2. Make Your Own Fajitas<\/p>\n
\n1. The Mall of America – If I’d had another day, I probably would’ve made the trek, but locals said it wasn’t worth it and it was a little far from the hotel given the amount of time I had
\n2.\u00a0 A Twin’s Game, but that shouldn’t surprise anyone<\/p>\n
\n1. Teaching a mini-demo about IFTTT<\/a>
\n2. Live blogging<\/a><\/p>\n
\n1. Emily, from More Than Just Dessert<\/a>
\n2. Megan O, Then Heather Said<\/a> contributor<\/p>\n
\n1. Stina from Running in Chucks<\/a>
\n2. Laura from Becoming the Odd Duck<\/a><\/p>\n
\n1. Terra, by blogger Gretchen Powell<\/a>
\n2. The less than $5 I paid to take the light rail to and from the airport and hotel.\u00a0 Easy, lovely, inexpensive.<\/p>\n
