Since we've been doing a lot more outdoor activities in Seattle, I've been wanting some hiking shoes. I finally bought some from REI last weekend with some of my birthday money. I initially was looking at some other shoes, but they didn't fit that well and I didn't know what to do. Then one of the store employees showed me another shoe that fit my narrow foot much better. I ended up buying the ones he showed me and they were on sale too. I'm looking forward to trying them out this weekend on a new trail we plan on going to.

I also bought some winter clothes at REI. It's really convenient that REI is only 3 blocks away. We like some of the styles of clothes there, so we'll probably end up buying more stuff there.
