Hey guys - meant to blog this yesterday. Stride Rite began it's buy one get one half off sale yesterday. Now that I'm typing, I'm wondering if this is national or local to Philly so if it's not national, some non-Philly type can email me or post on our message boards to let me know and I can make a note here.

But check out your local Stride Rite just in case - it's a great sale and a good time to stock up on summer sandals and shoes. I know that around here, it runs from April 1-15th.

My personal favorite are these TT Argo Sneaker/Sandals. I got a pair for Nate last year and they were fantastic for summer camp. They ask for sneakers only at camp but when it's the dead of summer, it's hard to convince your child to put on socks and heavy sneakers. These ones from Stride Rite were perfect as they are sandal-y but closed-toe. I bought two more pairs this year - one for Cole and another in a larger size for Nate. I also notice they have them in pink for girls.
