Outdoor Retailer

First week in August tagged along with the Outdoor team to the Outdoor Retail Show in Salt Lake...started the party early at the airport since our flight got delayed. It was a great show, I left inspired for me & the family to become more Outdoorsy and excited for all the opportunity for Outdoor on Zappos!
happy campers to finally get there...the wheels on the bus go round and round :)
first night was pretty low key, dinner at devil's daughter...wasn't too crazy about the name but they had pretty good wings
some shine & glitter happening in the Outdoor World :)
After a good 1st day of the show, a massive TNF dinner for 32...sandwiched between my outdoor girls Catie and Emily
Marisa, Harry Potter :) and Moxa
after dinner went to club elevate for the Jansport party where Cromeo performed, wasn't clear after hearing lil Romeo or Cromeo was performing :) not sure who he is but we liked him...my first real concert experience that involved not dancing but jumping up and down...I guess that's what people do :)
after the party we were all hungry again for Mcdonald's fries, so I took one for the team and tried to order us food from the drive-thru but strangely enough they don't do that, so we had to find a nice couple with a car to order food for us, which we did and treated them as well for helping us out :)
Dee went too, she does marketing for kids so was pretty cool we got to be roomies on this trip :) we ended up doing dinner together one night at Bambara, restaurant recommended by a rep for their blue cheese chips and silky corn bisque with Crab
then met up with the others...Yhaira and Mike
ended up back at elevate for Teva's 80's party...held in honor for the retirement of the Jansport creator
spazmatics...I like the 80's not a hard core fan like some, but they were really good!
ended the trip on a sweet note, after the last day of the show found a good spot for lunch, discovered a fellow foodie friend in my other outdoor partner Bill, we shared appetizers, ordered different entrees so we could split both and this fruit parfait thing was amazing! told him he was a good eating buddy :)
and even better, I scored and found a cute little shop that had macarons, made the trip that much better :)
