Today Kara & I went shopping for supplies for our big trip. We bought tons of stuff: toiletries, watches, coats, packing cubes, a bag lock, camping cutlery, etc, etc, etc. The grand total came to (EEK!) over $400!!! The item I'm most happy about buying is my very first Swiss Army Knife! We had to go to three different G.I. Joe's to track down the right one, but it was worth it! I always wanted one when I was a kid, and now I finally have one!!
We went out to dinner with Kara's family at Sweet Tomatoes. Afterward we went to T.J. & Michelle's for a while to play with the new baby. Then back to my parents' house for the night where we chatted. A low key day, but shopping made the quickly approaching trip feel real for the first time!
