Forks, WA...Twilight Hot Spots


I began reading the Twilight books just on a whim when i heard so many people talking about it. I was resistant at first because it was such a craze for teenagers and i thought i was too old for that stuff. Friends of mine recommenced the books so for my 15 lb reward i got the hard cover book of twilight from Barnes and Noble. Feeling like a complete nerd the whole time mat and i made a joke about it, but after reading just a few pages i was hooked!!! This has got to be one of the great love stories i have read. I read the four books in about two weeks ( a slow pace for most lol) The day after finishing the last book Debbie and i headed to Forks, Wa the place where the book was based! It was so much fun because the whole town loves that the book was based there and they have really embrassed the idea. We got a map that gave us all the twilight hot spots around the town such as the police station, bellas house, the cullen house, bellas truck and more. More then just seeing everything from the book it was also fun to spend the day with debbie. We were insperable in high school but drifted apart a bit once we graduated. It is so nice to still be freinds with her and know that we can go on day trips like this and it feels like nothing has changed! She is truely a great friend to have in my life.
Now for the pictures!...

  2. Haha... I'd wondered what the little town of Forks thought about being used in the book. I'd also wondered if they'd seen an infulx of visitors after the books gained popularity. I guess the answer is YES.

    How fun!

    Was it explained wether the author had actually grown up or spent a lot of time in Forks? How did the town determine which houses belonged to which characters in the stories? Did it match the book descriptions pretty well?
