Forks

This Bed & Breakfast in town was actually called The Cullen House. They left these notes on the whiteboards for the tourists. Kinda cute!

Its a beautiful B&B. But I thought our cabin was amazing!

Heather was our Bella for the weekend. This was the Swan house so we had a little vogue session out front.

This is where Bella worked in the books. Its the epitome of a small town store. It was broken into 3 parts - the first, a grocery store, the middle part was clothes and shoes, the right end was like a general store with decorating things and such.

Here is the hospital for you twilighters. The ER. The entire hospital looked like an urgent care. Insane! It was so small.

Edward was right...



He definitely isn't the most dangerous thing in the woods.

La Push

I have quite a few posts with pictures from First Beach. Sorry - I'm obsessed.


The mist on the beach was amazing. I love it. Definitely not California.
This is Charlotte and I. She was our group organizer for our small group 3 (Shout out!)


Surfers? I didn't even know they were out there until they were at the waters edge. You couldn't see a thing. They were camping on the beach that night. I fully intend to camp on the beach with Jeff one of these days.

Stephenie Meyer Day

Saturday was Forks' first Stephenie Meyer day. It was a lot of fun. They had a look a like contest, twilight vendors, drawings, birthday cake for Bella. There was some serious cash spent in that little town!


Amanda, Heather and I by Bella's truck. Heather obviously felt too cool to wear her TwilightMoms nametag. :)


They also had tours of Forks High School. It was smelly - but fun! I forget what schools smell like. The high school has recently been deemed unsafe and they are looking for donations to make some repairs. All of the money that was donated this weekend from drawings and chamber purchases were going to help the school.

This is our TwilightMoms group pictures. There were a ton of us able to go! You can see mom on the far right, 3rd row up. I'm on the truck holding the sign and Amanda and Heather....I don't know. I couldn't see them when I was in the truck either! :)

Of course we had to have a picture by Chief Swan's car.

Bonfire at La Push

Saturday night we went back to La Push for a bonfire and to listen to the Quileute story teller. It was cold, but everyone was having too much fun to worry about it. It was so foggy that we couldn't see the nearest island. It was amazingly gorgeous. It really added to the atmosphere when we listened to the stories of the Quileutes.


We had such a blast! This was my first beach bonfire and I loved it. If only Jessica would have been there... :)

Heather, Amanda, Me and mom by the bonfire. We attempted to roast marshmallows, but it was so incredibly hot when you were close enough to the fire that when you were within arm's reach you could almost feel it singe your eyebrows! But it was so much fun and I wouldn't have rather been anywhere else.


This poor Quileute kid! He was just minding his own business eating chili and fry bread at the indian dance and made the critical mistake of wearing a leather jacket and carrying his helmet (that is what Jacob - Quileute - wears in the book) and the girls started going crazy. One of the TwilightMoms finally asked him if he knew why the ladies were going crazy. He had no clue. She told him and he thought it was pretty cool. I was sitting next to an older lady that though he was so hot that she made me get my picture taken so I could send it to her just for her to look at him! Of course I obliged and I must admit...I'm turning into a little bit of a Jacob fan.

Forks

Here is a little appetizer.
Seriously - to even attempt to put into words the amazing....perfection of this town and La Push would be a ridiculous attempt. Let me put it this way - Jeff will be saving a lot of money now because I would rather go back to Forks and La Push instead of London anyday. I'll put more pictures on here and when I actually get home I'll put some on my photography page as well.



We went to First Beach every day we were there. I'm so glad that we did. It was my favorite part. Aside from Forks being my new favorite town - completely ignoring anything Twilight - the La Push beach is my favorite place to be. I kept wishing my husband and boys could be with me.



Of course we went to Bella Italia in Port Angeles. It was about 45 minutes away and well worth the drive. The food was amazing! They were all out of mushroom ravioli (what Bella had in the book). I had fetuccini carbonara and it was the best I have ever had. I did get to have a coke though. I'll also point out something I'm sure you will all notice...Washington is not kind to my hair or face. :)


This is at First Beach, of course. Saturday night there was a bonfire and the Quileute story teller told stories. Our group started our own bonfire on the beach and it was massive!!


I knew they were real!!! This is the sign at the Forks Hospital. Now you have proof...
