Last week was my glorious vacation during which I did almost nothing. That was the plan after all to do nothing. I didn't want to go anyplace which that's very strange since I am hyper sensitive to the condition known a "Cabin Fever". It takes me like 1 or 2 days before I must get out of the house!!! But for 6 of my 9 days of vacation I was content to stay at home farm with Farmville, clean the house and cook dinners. It was like heaven. The Girls at work did so good! They only called like 3 times and they were up in $ for our week. I knew I could count on them.
This past weekend was beautiful. 50 degree weather & blue skies. An oddity here in the Pacific Northwest for winter, normally our rainy season. So Terry and I took full advantage of it. We took a drive and stayed the night on the Olympic Peninsula. We'd been there once before but didn't get to see a whole lot. So this time I had a list of things I wanted to do and by golly we got them all done in a day and a half!
This is my disclaimer: I am not a "Twihard" (a super Twilight fan) and I really could care less about the actors from the flicks. I did dig the books and I think is cool to go places I've read about or seen on TV. So due to the close proximity to Forks & La Push WA I felt I should go.
Let me start by saying that EVERYONE over there is SOOOOOO nice! I couldn't believe it! They are so welcoming to Twilight fans. They've got a few stores, there are signs in all the windows welcoming Twilighters. It's nuts! They want people to come to their tiny tiny town. And let me tell you, they need it. It's like the town that time forgot. Everything is circa 1982. Everythings clean and orderly but old! I loved it there. We stayed at a small little motel called the Dew Drop Inn. (I love that name)
So without further ado, photographs.......
First Beach.....
Snoopy trying to chew his way to freedom!
A really awesome photo op on the mile hike to Second Beach......
Cape Flattery......just gorgeous not Twilight related.
An eagle just because.

Until next time..........

So cool! I love Twilight and wish I could go visit there! Maybe one day though...Jeramy and I want to take a road trip to California after he gets out of the navy so maybe I can convince him to go north to Forks :)
Wow, I knew I loved the state of WA... The Forks area seems to deliver as much beautiful scenery as the parts of WA I have already seen. That is cool that they are not all snubby to visitors that came for the sake of a good bit of fiction, but actually want you there. I am glad you had a nice vacation... PA next... then Germany right? lol
We have similar weather over here compared to the Seattle area I think. Maybe we will be ready to live there by the time our European Odyssey is done. I wanted to live there already and we did look for jobs, but Stephen was worried the weather would make me depressed. I however think all the green makes up for the gray. :)
Miss you guys. Tell Terry he looks different, but good without his beard. oxox
Great pictures and as always, thanks for sharing!!!
Can you believe I've lived here 20 years and never been to any of those places? Sucks huh? Oh well. Maybe Aaron and I can go out there for spring break or something. Beautiful pictures boss lady :)
