We indulge in long days at the beach in the summer. Somehow we always stumble into friends and gatherings, on this day it was both...the recess monkeys arrived as well as friends from "Tribe Seattle."
Puget Sound is a bit chilly, perfect for a swim at the end of an epic beach day.
Melissa relaxing.
Lake Washington beaches have darker sand but the warmer water and floating swims docks make for luxurious long swims. We often head to the lake at the end of the long summer days. (Sunset is 9pm.)
