Cool and Cloudy

What do you do when it's August, the temperature is climbing rapidly, and you're a complete wimp when it comes to anything over 75 degrees?  Head to the Washington coast where it MIGHT be sunny, but more likely foggy, the "breeze" is cool, and sweatshirts are so essential that you'll buy one at the tourist trap shop because you forgot to bring one with you. (Not me, the other adult in the equation...) We spent a delightfully cool weekend in Long Beach and then came back to a stifling house which wasn't quite so fun.

August on the coast. Hats, coats, boots.
And a hot chocolate run when everyone started shivering uncontrollably.

Wind!
The Princess holds on for dear life, Sweetpea tries to shield herself from the sandblasting.

One of two lighthouses visited.
Discovery Pass for the win, again!
