Weekend Roundup 7/12
Well, folks, I’m beach-bound! This year’s trip is short but sweet, but I’m testing out the Droid Xyboard while I’m away, so expect some updates from the sand.
My sister’s on her way here today, and we’re going to pack up and leave so early in the morning that I told my mom to have breakfast (an egg sandwich, please) ready for us.
That is my weekend – sand, surf, 4G. I can’t wait.
Plans include:
- Beach run
- Read Judy Blume’s Summer Sisters
- Shopping at Hula Sue
- Plus, of course, cocktails, snacks, sun and girl time
Fear not, there is plenty going on in town this weekend. I’ll have a day-by-day planner for you in tomorrow’s column — and for the nitty gritty, read on.
