R.E.I. "Opts Outside" for November's Black Friday

This morning everyone bustled to get the greatest deals for this year's Christmas shopping, and possibly a few items for themselves. This is been a tradition for many for decades: Black Friday.

However, not everyone is getting in on the action. REI has made the decision to let all of the employees off for the day, with pay, in an effort to encourage them, as well as the rest of nation, to "opt outside". Using the hashtag, #OptOutside, thousands are getting in on the action, showing off where they are going and what they're doing outside on this year's Black Friday. 

This is a great idea, even if you did go out for your yearly adventure among the crazies- I mean fellow shoppers- and enjoy time with friends and family! Visit their website and join in on the fun, share your pictures- even edit with their website's feature to make sharing fun. http://optoutside.rei.com/

My daughter, Emma, and I decided that was a great idea, with mild temperatures and sunshine, it was a great day for us to get out for a walk. Anyone else for taking them up on this? Share your pics below in the comments!
