After dropping Madilyn off at school, I headed off to REI. Because of the timing, I knew I'd get there before they opened, so I spent some time at Trader Joe's. When I drove over to the REI parking lot at 9:58, it was FULL, with an incredible number of people heading toward the doors. Turns out their super clearance started this morning, and so the store was packed! I am so glad that I called yesterday and had them hold the boots.
Got the boots from the service desk, and tried them on. Heaven! No more cold toes for me, for sure. Best thing - they are backward compatible with my current ski bindings, so I can use them while waiting for my new skis.
Right about now, my husband is reading this (from some remote location), and a chill is passing over his wallet. Sorry, sweetie... was I supposed to check with you first? Guess this gives you permission to spend money, too...
So, anyway, now I have new boots...and I picked up a pair of smartwool socks, too. Oh, and a new ear wrap. Unfortunately, none of them were part of the "super clearance" (figures), but they were mostly on sale.
And it's sunny today! The trail awaits...
