a non-2nd hand embarrassing stay in forks...

sigh...i love the pacific ocean.
i also love things that aren't the pacific ocean...
such as sour cream, brownies, flip flops, blankies, and juniper breeze...but that is for another day.




the drive from Portland to Forks, WA was beautiful...but how could it not be?
here is a picture from Ruby Beach...which is a few miles Southeast of Forks...


some of the highlights from the drive was when we quoted really ridiculous quotes from Twilight.
like, "how you likin' the raiiiiin girl?"
or, "say it...out loud."
probably my favorite thing was when we drove passed Queet's River. Um. Hi. the burial ground for the highly fictitious character "Butt Crack Santa" in Twilight the movie...not the book.




anyway. neither of us had ever been to a bed & breakfast before, so we thought it would be fun to try one out. i mean...hi. WHO doesn't like breakfast included with their stay?

the inn keepers at Miller Tree Inn were some of the nicest people we had ever met. srsly.
we were greeted by first name when they opened the door.
they told us which restaurants to stay away from in Forks, and lamented that they didn't have too many good places to choose from. (poor Forks doesn't have Rigatony's. I feel sad for them)
they even introduced us to their resident cat, Tully. (so cute!)

i was totally coveting their hootie owl that guarded the fireplace...

we liked how they had cookies and hot chocolate sitting out for us at all times.
it especially came in handy while we were building a puzzle late into the night. :)

the Miller Tree Inn is the designated "Cullen House" in Forks. the tourists are told to come to the Inn if they want to pretend it's the Cullen's house. it was hilarious watching 12 year olds...and really fangirly grown women take pictures by my license plate. yep...i just watched and laughed.

our room was so cute. they really went out of their way to make things cozy.
they had sparkling cider chilled and waiting for us when we arrived, with a note congratulating us on our anniversary...so sweet.
our favorite touch, was the journal that sat on the nightstand. guests could write an entry about their stay at the inn...and some of the entries made me cry! of course we left a message :)

the Inn had the comfiest bed, and was one of our favorite stays on the trip. we love Miller Tree Inn! If you are ever in Forks...stay there!

of course the next day we spent walking around, laughing and making fun of the fangirls.
a lot of the moms spent way over 100 dollars buying not-so-awesome souvenirs! what the?

of COURSE Pocket Edward had to make an appearance. duhspice!

um. this sign that ted is standing by?
typical Forks.

while we were there they were having a "heat wave"...(try 70 degrees!) so there were no clouds in site. i was kinda sad about it.
but still...it was so very very very green...

and look who i found swinging from the trees...

he was in his element...obviously!
