Sunset at First Beach

This was my first time at First Beach. We made it just in time for sunset. We were all jabbering away in the van waiting to see the beach. We came around a bend and everyone was silent. Trees lined the road and when we could finally see the waters and the rock stacks it was....beyond amazing.

On the road...

We took the ferry from edmonds across to kingston (?). It was a lot of fun! I've never been on one before so this was a first. It was pretty cold out on the water. When we crossed back I was sure to wear a long sleeve shirt. (My shirt says: Emmett Cullen eats Democrats for breakfast)


This is the other ferry coming back across. There were a lot of sail boats out on the water too. It was really gorgeous.

We stayed up high were we could see everything. I think all of us wanted to see every bit that we could.

This is at Discover Bay where mom and aunt Di stayed when they were in Seattle in July. I love this picture of us. I picked up a few sea shells before we left - Aidan loves them!

The Hoh National Forest

We hiked/walked through the Hoh Forest on Friday. It was - like everything else in Forks - amazingly beautiful! We chose the Hall of Moss for our walk.
This is our vampire picture! In the book, Edward runs with Bella on his back through the forest. This was our attempt. Run Manda! Run!

This is our group. Sadly - mommy couldn't come with us on our walk. But she met up with us in La Push for lunch. We got there early enough that we made it before most of the twilightmoms started through.

Thanks to Heather for pointing out this shot for me. The moss was amazing on these trees.

I have a gazillion pictures from the Hoh forest. It was gorgeous!

Seattle, WA

Pikes Place was an awesomely huge market that had anything and everything! We stopped there on our way to Forks. We were ahead of schedule and decided to get some fruit. It was some of the best fruit ever. I hadn't realized how big it all was until we took an elevator down 6 levels of the market, crossed a street and took another 6 flights down to the waterfront part of the market place.

He was cute. What can I say? This is wear I got Aidan's awesome Pirate gear. It was a fun shop.

We ate at the Crab Pot before heading home. It was really good - but the company was better!

This was the clearest shot of the Space Needle we got. The other ones were from the car. I was glad I at least got to see it a little bit.

Before we left we got to see this gorgeous sunset from the pier.

Port Angeles, WA

For those who have not read Twilight - Port Angeles is the little town where Edward and Bella have an...interesting conversation.

She gets lost when she is walking around town and turns down alleys and ends up in the industrial part. There were a lot of these creepy little alley ways - but they were really cool too!

I just liked this sign! :) It was down one of the alley ways near the scientific church.

There was a massive staircase I climbed to get this picture. It was really beautiful. Thats Canada across the water.

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.
