Off To A Good Start

By Courtney 23 Comments

Nothin’ quite like downing a Starbucks coffee before 6am…especially when you’ve been up since 3:45am!

IMG_3349

Luckily, I have my good friend, Scott, to thank for hooking me up with this coffee this morning at the airport. Scott actually works for Southwest and was already at the airport for his shift when I got there. Thanks again, Scott! Smile

IMG_3350

Luckily, today’s travels were much better than the last time I traveled for a blogging conference, so I’m already ahead of the game. I snacked on a bunch of trail mix this morning, but waited to eat a real breakfast until I got to the conference. I was a little bummed to see that there wasn’t much variety, but I dug in head to the Uncle Sam cereal and fresh berries.

IMG_3352

Right away, I met up with some amazing fellow bloggers, including these pretty ladies: Sana, Jennifer, Jaclyn, & Gabriela.

IMG_3357

After a few hours of mingling and chatting, my room was eventually ready so I headed up to check in. Pretty nice, right?

IMG_3353

Totally loving the complementary Bath & Body Works aromatherapy goods. Winking smile

IMG_3355

Shortly after checking in, it was eventually lunch. Thank goodness, because I starrrrrving. Of course, everyone had to get in on the camera action.

IMG_3364

The spread consisted mostly of panini sandwiches, grilled veggies, and some salads.

IMG_3363

I got down with some paninis and grilled veggies!

IMG_3365

The grilled veggies were fantastic and full of flavor.

IMG_3366

Two out of the three mini paninis that I grabbed were also pretty amazing (one was filled with mushrooms…did not realize that one).

IMG_3368

IMG_3371

I also ended up trying a cup of mushroom and green onion soup, which was quite tasty, considering the fact that I’m not usually down with the ‘shrooms. Winking smile

IMG_3372

For dessert we were served this little cup of mixed fruit…

IMG_3375

I’m sorry, but that just is not dessert in my book…so a group of us walked down the road to Whole Foods for a proper dessert of cupcakes.

IMG_3377

Gabriela, Sana, Jac, & I each got a cupcake to split four ways…

Vanilla with raspberry filling, vanilla with no filling, vanilla with caramel filling, and chocolate with chocolate.

IMG_3378IMG_3379IMG_3381IMG_3384

Now that’s what I call dessert. Winking smile

IMG_3383

They were good, but…I think I like mine better. Oops.

IMG_3385

After grabbing the dessert, we headed back over to the hotel to check out some of the expo that was happening.

IMG_3388

I picked up some pretty awesome swag…

IMG_3390

…and also made sure to have some fun, too.

Still lots more goin’ on today…catch ya’ll later!

    I've always wanted to go to a blogger conference. Sounds like you're already having fun! I agree, fruit is part of dessert but by itself it's not dessert!

    So funny - I had to have something sweet when I got home! Ice cream!! Loved that soup too. Thanks for the post! Love the pics. I've learned from the wrap up posts I've read so far that I need to take more photos at these things! How did I miss the cupcakes?
