Well this weekend was Mom's surprise party so I was up in CT with all the out-of-towners and relos. We had a great time and PERFECT weather! It was fantastic.
It was also the EMS sale weekend so Hilary and I went (with Mom's credit card) with strict instructions to "buy whatever we need and make sure to get me one too." So that's what I did. Mom and I are now the proud owners of a set each of rain gear-- waterproof pants and shell-reddish pink for me, light blue for Mom, as well as a wicking long sleeve layer shirt and more hiking socks. I also picked up a camel back hydration bladder for Mom and some extra laces for her boots. Unfortunately they didn't have pretty red ones like mine so maybe I will go to REI and get her another set. We may be roughing it on that mountain but by golly we'll look pretty doing it!
When I returned from CT I found that the trekking poles I ordered online arrived... I think I'm almost done shopping for this extravaganza! We need some sleeping pads, long johns, some more socks and liners and I'm sure Mom would like a few sports bras to keep the ladies in check but other than that...it's just incidentals.
I suppose we should pay for the trip now :-)
