R E I.....finally.

We used to, and by used to I really mean before kids-a single income-moving to Alabama, visit REI on a regular basis. We literally had a line item in our budget for REI. Our last visit to REI was during our Seattle trip in October of 2008 so needless to say, we were overdue.

So for Father's Day we surprised Will with a trip to his favorite store. The closest store to us is south of Nashville, TN so on Saturday morning we loaded up and made our way. It is still weird for both of us to drive for an hour or so and be in another state. Growing up in central Texas and driving an entire day to only STILL be in Texas is normal for us. Anyways, we went, we shopped, we got a few things, we tested out bikes, backpacks, kayaks and sleeping bags, we lunched and then made our way home. It was a great day and yet another memory was made.

What is it with my boys and motorless boats?
