FORKS

Today (Saturday) we woke up at around 10 and it was nice to have been able to rest after that exhausting drive yesterday.

The other tent was already up but we met them at this "reception house" where we had breakfast. This camping, which was called "The Lost resort", was located totally in the middle of nowhere and there was nothing to do. Well, there were some great hikes and I'm sure the nature is beautiful, but nothing to do on the camping area. So after breakfast, we took down the tent and put everything back to the car and headed to Forks.

It took maybe 1,5 h to get there and the first thing that we see is the welcome sign we also see in the movie ;)

We parked in the center and walked around with not really knowing where to go. We found a store that had a lot of Twilight stuff (I mean all stores had Twilight stuff but this one had A LOT) and there we got a map over the city and where we could find all the Twilight stuff.

We walked to the school but they had tared it down and were gonna build a new one but we saw the sign and took some pictures.
We had lunch at a place called the Twilight Lodge where the menu was totally Twilight inspired. U could have the New Moon burger, the Rosalie sandwich or the Nakey Jakey ;) So funny and so good!

We wanted some dessert so we went to a sweet shop across the street where the kids got some candy and I took a ice cream. I also bough a bag there which was really cute. It came as a zipper and I had to zip it up and then the bag was created ;) It's pink and so cute, I just needed to have one ;)

We drove to a grocery store to get some food for our camping and then we went off to La Push, the werewolf territory ;) We passed the treaty line where it said: "No vampires beyond this point" ;)

Apparently there was some kind of yearly festival in La Push just this weekend so there where A LOT of people. We couldn't park anywhere close to the La Push beach so we choose the next beach, called the first beach. We had to park the car and then walk about 1 km with all our tents, sleeping bags and other pack so it was a warm and hard walk.

The beach was so beautiful! There were high cliffs out in the water and big waves were splashing up on the beach. we had to climb over a street of trees that had been flushed in to shore by the ocean and it was just so amazing how big and how much trees that laid there.

We put the tents up and the kids jumped in to the water. I can't understand how they could do that cause it was freezing cold! We made a fire and there I spend a lot of the time, warming my feet.

I walked and climbed a long the beach and it was just so peaceful and beautiful. I saw a wale or sth that had been stranded and eaten, not so fresh ;)

We ate hot dogs and also corn that we put in the fire and they were so good!! Then made smores over the fire which was really cozy. The water got lower and pulled back out which uncovered rocks and a way out to one of the cliffs. Me and Filip went there and saw a lot of corals and other reef animals. We didn't have any shoes so it was painful walking on the mussels and pointy stones ;)

There were some other people also camping on the beach so when it got dark, U could see all the fires along the beach, cozy.

Closes to us was a youth gang and they had put up a big pole in the sand (don't know why) and then the kids also did that, and they was cheered on from the camp ;) They also had some fireworks/bombs but they were nice and warned us first before they shot it. It was really loud! I thought there would be a landslide after that ;)

There was supposed to be fireworks at the festival and someone told us that we would be able to see that as well, but sadly the forest was in the way so we just saw the sky light up in all different colour. But that was nice too ;)

We went to bed after that and this time I had Sofia and Helena in my tent. They also did great and soon we all slept heavy. But we got woken up by another bomb and then some fireworks. I almost went outside to yell at them but I was too tired, and I didn't wanna get more sand in to the tent. Otherwise I would have gone ;)

Miss U all!

Love Sandra
