Brackett's Landing in Edmonds

AnneMarie is a beach lover and that's the first place she wants go to when we visit. This was the first of four trips to the beach during our vacation.

I could not convince AnneMarie that she didn't have to hold up her capris, since they didn't hang below the top of her boots. However, I didn't realize that she didn't quite understand how boots worked - that she must not wade in the surf past the height of the boots. So, she got a ton of sea water inside the boots and they did not serve their purpose at all. She didn't master the art of wading in the ocean with boots on until our last visit to the beach.

Jack is not exactly a beach comber, but he did seem to enjoy it more this year than on past trips.
