Mission Accomplished: Labor Day Sale at REI

Saratoga, United States


I never thought I was the type of girl to salvate over shoes, but at REI, Tim has to follow me around with a mop. We had a GREAT time at the second PLT Flea Market on Saturday... sold another round of stuff and got a kick out of seeing our "trash" become "treasure" once again. The sales were never really about money, but more about passing along good energy and lightening our load. Because of the time of year, we had the opportunity to bestow our funky stuff to a handful of Burning Man goers on their way out of town, so it was very cool... totally worth having to re-feng shui the house last night!

On Sunday, we headed up to REI to take advantage of their annual holiday sale and we SCORED some great clothes and gear. We felt a little guilty when we saw the total on the cash register, but the money we made at the Flea Market covered it all and we were able to take our goodies home with a clear conscience. We are only shy a few things on our pack lists, but I'm hoping we can grab those on-line for a discounted price. We'll have the opportunity to break in some of the gear on our backpacking trip this weekend up near Auburn - I'll be sure to post some pics next week!

We are going to explore the unknown and there's no turning back now. Why explore? Here are a few reasons why we start on this journey...

- To breathe deeply, appreciate the moment and SLOW DOWN
- To let go of our fears
- To rebel… prove that we can live outside the system
- To challenge...
