Molly wanted to escape Seattle for Thanksgiving.  She chose to take us to Anchorage Cottages (misnamed as this is a treacherous coast with no anchorages nearby) in Long Beach, WA. We had a good time.  We explored the beach.  Spirit leaped, bounded, and sprinted all over.  Daniel discovered fire making (in the fireplace), I cooked, [...]

Munchkin, after successfully stealing Molly’s iPhone, branched out into other criminal enterprises, stealing [...]
