In this season of chuck there was an episode called “Chuck VS. The Hack Off”, the episode was featured around computer skills. Chuck aka The Piranha must bypass the security systems allowing the team to infiltrate and grab the computer super virus, the Omen virus.
I am not very skilled with computers, but there have been a few times where I had to figure out how to get something done on my own. I can remember that my computer had a virus and my husband was out-of-town, so it was all up to me to fix it. The computer kept pulling up different codes and I tried several combinations until i got through.
To say the least, I cracked a few codes and restarted the whole system to get it up and running, I was so proud of myself.
Have you ever had to put your computer skills to use?
You can pick up Chuck Season 5 on dvd now through this link. You can use c5wbwrd to save 20% on your order and get free shipping.

Finally the weather is beautiful and it’s time to get out and about. I live in Long Island NY, and it has been raining for almost two weeks straight. Luckily the last couple days, the sun has come out and it has been really warm.
It’s the perfect time to get out and have a cook out/BBQ and have fun. This year Mothers Day was our first official cook out at the park. It’s my favorite thing to do. The beaches here have eating and playing areas walking distance from the beach. So we can eat, play and then walk on the beach.
My husband did all the cooking for this trip, we decided to cook Hot dogs, steak and corn.

The food came out so good. The only thing hate about cooking at a park is it’s not your own grill, you don’t know what has been on it or in it. The food did come out okay though. We all had a blast.

Another form of BBQ we love is actual southern BBQ. I had never had it until we moved to the south, but it has become one of my favorites.
So for family night I decided to make Chicken BBQ and try out Hormel’s BBQ beef. My chicken came out a little plain, It just lists it’s flavor in the crock pot. Luckily we had Hormel’s BBQ beef on hand to eat and everyone loved it.

May is National BBQ month, what will you be barbecuing? I wanted to make a original recipe, but I am not the best at original. My husband does most of the grilling.

We have only been to Virginia Beach a few times, usually when we were traveling up north. We would stop at Virginia Beach and enjoy it for the day. It was so beautiful though, and so much to do.
Our kids I think enjoyed it the most. They had gigantic sand castles on the beach that people were building, and the kids loved seeing how they were being made. We ran into a family from NY that were visiting, and they were praising the hotel they stayed in. The kids were given ID bracelets, in case they got lost. They said it was the best vacation so far.
Also just for kids there is the Aquarium and marine science center, which is all day fun. Seeing all the marine life, and walking through the giant aquarium tunnel. It was beautiful and you get to learn so much about the animals. For a price you can even get in the water and interact with seals.
Virginia Beach has so much more to offer than just a beach though. There are so many activities to do as a family or just as a couple.
The list goes on and on, as what there is to do at Virginia Beach. Just visit the Visitors center and you can get pamphlets and directions to everything. For me, the beach was so much fun, but there are so many people around it’s hard to find a quiet spot.
If you get to the beach early which I have done, you can usually find tons of exciting stuff. You can find sand dollars , or sea stars that washed up. I’ve also found money and toys that probably fell out of pockets or got left behind.
We were only at Virginia Beach for one day, but I have heard from so many people that the one thing you don’t want to miss out on is the food tours and restaurants. They have the best seafood around.
I think Virginia Beach is a great spot fora vacation and I hope to go back very soon. How will you “Love The Moment In Virginia Beach?”
