As my husband and I are going to attempt to go skiing in the Rockies this winter, I went, for the first time, to an extreme sporting goods store. I was amazed at all of the ski gear that they had and I was not even sure where to begin. I thought I had better come back with my husband. Not that he would have any better idea than me, but at least we could feel lost together.

We went back to the store to buy some gear and supplies for our trip. The customer service agent was super helpful and did not make us feel like complete idiots due to our lack of knowledge. I am sure he gets many like us all the time.

As he rung up our purchases, my husband was taking an interest in all the surf gear that they were just now starting to put on display. I pulled him away from the displays, to pay for our purchases. But, I do see another vacation in the very near future. Hmmm…maybe bringing him to this store was not such a bad idea after all.
