That’s How We Roll
We took yet another trip this weekend. Before I share a few pictures from this getaway, I’d like to let you in on a little secret.
On the outside this may look like a child size rolling suitcase:
Up until a few days ago this Teletubbies (whatever happened to those freaks anyway?) bag acted as something much more important.
If you guessed pillow carrier, you’d be wrong.
Allow me to introduce you to our Hooptie, otherwise known as the laptop case:
This stylish, ultra-padded carrier transported our laptop safely through two trips to the beach, one trip to Virginia and a weekend at the lake.
I guess other people didn’t appreciate or see the ingenuity of our Hooptie Carrier, because lo and behold, this much more boring sleek and compact laptop case made its way into our lives a few days ago via a freebie from my friend’s husband’s work.
While I’m appreciative of any gift that I receive, I have to admit that I will miss the Hooptie.
We had a good ride, but our time together has sadly come to an end. I’ll always remember the good times and all the laughs I had every time I used you. RIP Hooptee, RIP.
Now, here are a few pictures from our trip to the beach this weekend taken with my very fancy cheap Kodak Easy Share camera, so don’t expect too much greatness in the way of the photography:
This one is a shot I got of my eight year old son body surfing. He has really gotten into it this summer. I like watching him but get a little freaked out when he gets completely engulfed by a wave like this one:
It wouldn’t be a vacation post on my blog without some damn birds. Here is a seagull and what I thought were her babies. I was later told that the little ones were actually just sandpiper birds and not her babies. This fact makes the picture much less cute, but I’m still showing it. Just pretend that they are babies.
We discovered a little beach bar that does 2 for 1 drinks at Happy Hour. I couldn’t resist taking this picture. Yes, I photograph my alcoholic beverages. Do you have a problem with that?
How was your weekend? What did you do?

I TOTALLY photograph my beverages too! Glad you had fun. I am suffering from vacation hangover, I want to go back . . . .
Oooh, beachy drinks! I love em! I giggled at your “suitcase” - I used to use one of my kids’ backpacks! But I, too, have risen to your level of greatness with a REAL laptop bag. What am I doing this weekend? Well, it’s on my blog… only today was MUCH more interesting. I’ll post soon, it’s a whopper.
Have a great week!
It was nice and kinda relaxing. I played Phase 10 (card game) for the first time in ages and we bought a new game for the family (can’t spoil it here, will blog about it later). There were alcoholic beverages and kettle corn. Good times.
Too funny about the laptop bag! I love it.
Aw, man, you’re making me wish we’d driven down to the beach this weekend, too. Or at least the pool. We mostly sat around doing nothing, other than getting some chores done.
I would’ve taken pictures of the drinks, too!
Nothing as good as you! I just bathed the cats!
I could comment on this post for hours. Love the pictures, I am in love with hooptie and the fact that you called it hooptie. Taking pictures of your alcoholic drinks is just a nice service for your readers who did not get any frozen yummy drinks nor did we get any sand. or water. or waves.
EXCELLENT POST.
I had a laptop for all of two weeks before my husband sold it out from under me when we were in Brasil (for a mighty huge profit, though, so I was okay with it). I used my diaper bag! It was padded in all the right places, and I was happy to be able to use it again. I sure spent a pretty penny on it.
I saw Mamma Mia over the weekend. FABULOUS.
I photograph my alcoholic beverages too.
Nice pics!
so fun! i am completely and totally jealous!!!
crack me up with the hooptie…..too much! love the picts…..ooooh, now i really miss the beach.
thanks for coming by…a trip for me and hubby for my 30th, sounds niiice! i’ll have to work on that…..have a great night!
First, I saw Mamma Mia too and LOVED it as well!!! Loved the play and loved the movie. I know it’s getting horrible reviews, but I thought it was awesome! Yes, Pierce’s singing is a little cheesy, but he’s so nice to look at so who really cares about his singing! I also love ABBA though, so I knew I’d like the movie regardless of anything. OK…… Second, if you miss and loved the “hooptie” so much then you should keep using that! I’m sure your friend was just trying to be nice by giving you something she thought you needed but didn’t want to spend the money on.
HA HA HA!! The hooptie laptop bag is AWESOME!!!! That bodysurfing freaks me out a little too, although it does look like fun. Looks like you had a great weekend!
That hooptie bag looks like something I would do.
Aren’t the Teletubbies creepy? I’m glad they’re off the air.
I LOVE that bodysurfing picture. Perfectly captured!!
those are gorgeous pictures! But you’re not alone when it comes to the laptop bag…heee…I used to do that too! Actually, from time to time, I still do that..it makes everything so much easier, doesn’t it?
The Teletubbies scare me…like really scare me..
And that last picture? Is really making me thirsty right now
I really hope this 2 for 1 bar is in OC!!
Oh, and if the teletubbies suitcase is in good shape, don’t throw it out! Some nut will pay a small fortune for it on ebay:)
OMG at the teletubbies suitcase - LOVE it!!! I love the bodysurfing picture, that looks so cool!!! I’m so glad you guys had a nice time. Our beach vacation starts Friday - woo hoo!
