Seabrook

It seems that Seabrook is the place to go for Washington coast, so we finally went to see what the fuss is about.

Two of the best things about Seabrook are the architecture and the house names.  This is Clamalot!

The weather never got really nice, but we enjoyed the beach anyway.  The kids are old enough we can leave them playing at the beach while we go for long walks (that may or may not end at an espresso stand—spiced chai screams beach vacation!)

Guess how many days it took the kids to get all the sand out!

We were there for the Gnome and Fairy Weekend.

Besides making gnome houses in the woods, they had a magic show (which was REALLY good!). Obviously, the magician is the one who blew himself up in the giant red balloon. 

Then the Not-Its did a family concert in the evening. 

I’m implying that I loved Seabrook inside and out, but I don’t see us going back there for years and years.  The cost is ridiculous and I just got mad that the darling house didn’t have conditioner for my hair, olive oil or ketchup, or detergent.  It’s way more than twice the cost of our cabin per night, with none of the little touches that make it comfortable.  With no close grocery store, and very few food options, eating can be an ordeal and Seabrook has to do better than that.  Otherwise, hang out in Langley!!!.
