['I had a great time this weekend.', 'Oh yeah? Nice to hear. What exactly did you do?', 'We took a trip to the mountains to hike.  So nice to be away from the city outside in nature.']
That's awesome, I'm from Kansas and first went to Colorado just a couple years ago. It was beautiful!
We went to the mountains to hike.  It was very peaceful and nice to be in nature.
