My Mom, Katie and I drove up to Forks, Washington while David went to work. It was a lot farther than I thought it would be, about a 3 hour drive from David's apartment. But so cool to be able to go! We stopped in Port Angeles first, just because it was closer.
We saw Bella Italia, it wasn't as fancy as I pictured it :p We wanted to eat there, but it didn't open until 4pm, and that was hours away.
It was sooo green! And overcast.
We finally arrived! Pretty cool picture opportunities around the town. We were able to take a picture near the city sign, the truck she drove in the movie, they even had the truck described in the book. The prom dancing scene thing, the high school, lots of stores with souvenirs as well. The only disappointment going to Forks, was that the movie was not actually filmed in Forks. So all the sights we saw, were sights from the book, but not what we all saw in the movies, which would have been a little cooler in my opinion. The town did a really good job of making it for tourists though, having the houses they lived in and everything on a map for us to drive around and take pictures with.
We ended the night stopping by La Push Beach. This is supposedly the log they always sit on when they talk. Like I said, they set it up pretty cool for tourists. I wish we would have gotten here earlier, I underestimated by time and by the time we got there the sun was already going down =/ Super cool day though. I'm glad I was able to see it =)
