Seattle/Portland Trip . . . (and Forks)

This past week Clark and I went to Seattle to visit our good friends, Dave and Bianca. We also drove from there down to Portland on business for Clark. It was a really fun trip and I especially liked it because I have never been anywhere in the northwest. We also made one little sidetrip to the inconsequential town of Forks. Most of you have proably read or at least heard of Twilight, by Stephenie Meyer; well, Forks is the little town where the series takes place. If I'm being completely honest (even at risk of embarrassment), I am a little obsessed over the books. I figured since I was up in Seattle already, I might as well drive over to Forks and check it out. Luckily, I have a very agreeable husband who didn't mind making the three hour drive with me. Surprisingly, Forks was absolutely beautiful. The actual town isn't much to see (though I visited all the Twilight points of interest with all the other 13 year-old girls visiting Forks), but the area around Forks is awesome.

Here are a few pictures. I'd also like to note that this really was a Seattle trip to visit friends. Unfortunately, our camera broke just after we left Forks so I don't have any pictures of Seattle or Portland.
