Oh yeah, the other thing they got wrong was the weather. The kids kept talking about how muggy and hot it was. Which it can be, but it's not a normal summer thing. We actually don't get a lot of moisture in the summer so it's rarely muggy (we're actually under a fire weather watch/warning--can't remember which--because of lack of rain and heat--in the 90s again). It gets hot but our average highs are in the mid-80s.
When they go to the beach they act like it's 90 degrees out, everyone lounging in their bikinis, etc. Last time I went to the beach it was 100F in Vancouver/Portland, but only 67F at the coast. We were FREEZING, although we still went in the water. It was kind of hard to dry off and warm up after, though, because it was cloudy.
People still go to the beach, but a lot wear hoodies and just hang out. There's only been once in 4 years I've gone where it's been hot enough you wanted to go in the water and it was in the upper 80s, I think. Burnt my feet on the sand.
