<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 1746168, member: 16948&quot;]Let me start out by saying I LOVE the ANA Summer Seminar!&nbsp; So sit back, grab a cup of coffee or other beverage, and perhaps even a snack because there are tons of photos in this report!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Last year I was given a WIN (Women in Numismatics) scholarship to attend the Summer Seminar and registered for the program, but due to the fires and smoke surrounding the Colorado Springs area, I decided to cancel and roll over my scholarship to this year.&nbsp; I flew out one day early on Friday so I could attend the coin show that always occurs between the two Summer Seminar sessions and goes through Sunday.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I’m getting excited as we move closer to the Denver area</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_1933_zps438e3c58.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_1934_zps61190239.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_1935_zpsb036e24f.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_1936_zps566e43de.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The ANA had people waiting to pick up the YN’s at the airport so I hitched a ride to the campus on the bus with one of these YN groups</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_1937_zps98227294.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>After I checked in at Loomis, I found my room and settled in.&nbsp; I was assigned a very nice single studio apartment.&nbsp; It was sparse, but great to have my own space with my own bathroom!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_2193_zpsa28ce1b7.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_1974_zps0580ab4c.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_1975_zpsb2a76c5c.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_1977_zpsbfcb0ef7.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is the view from my room</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_1976_zpsc57791a0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It was very hot on Friday, over 100 degrees, so after I was settled in, I walked over to the ANA Museum since it was air conditioned!
