Shopping in Flagstaff

We just relaxed and sat around the rig in the morning yesterday. We left for our planned shopping trip in Flagstaff about 11 AM. Our first stop was at Aspen Sports on San Francisco St in Flagstaff. It is a reputable outdoor equipment retailer in the Flagstaff area and a place where we could get expert help for choosing the right hiking boots for Josie. It cost a little more than we planned to spend for hiking boots but the advice was worth the price. The salesman was actually the store owner and he really knew his stuff. We also purchased a pair of hiking poles and the advice on those also was worth the trip. We passed on back packs as we need to decide what we want first. There are so many different styles and functions that we felt we should first go on a few hikes and get a good feel for what we need. Happy birthday, Josie.

Our other shopping goals were accomplished as Bob had his appointment with the hearing center and we went to Fry's and picked up much needed groceries. We arrived home at 6:30 and had dinner before settling down to watch "So You Think You Can Dance" on TV. It is one of our favorite shows and they are down to 6 contestants with the finale scheduled for next week.

The plan for today is to take the Forest Service road that was discussed yesterday. We will go to the restaurant in the lodge for dinner as they are having a special pizza night tonight. If all goes according to plan, it should be a fun birthday for Josie. We'll try to get some good pictures of our adventure today...
