Last summer, I was in Washington and visited Forks. It was so much fun! I’ve been a fan of vampires for a long time, and I couldn’t wait to visit the setting for Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight series.<\/p>\n

First, it’s very long drive from Seattle through some of the most beautiful, green forests I’ve ever seen.<\/p>\n

Our first stop was the city’s visitor’s center (well worth the visit!).<\/p>\n

From there, we used the city’s handy map and found the Swan House.<\/p>\n

Our third stop was Dr. Cullen’s office at the local hospital.<\/p>\n

Finally, my favorite spot–the Cullen residence complete with a note from Esme! I was in fan heaven. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

If you’re a fan of vampires, too, I highly recommend a trip to Forks. It’s a bit out of the way, but it’s like walking through the books. It’s well worth the drive. And the town, which saw a huge tourism uptick during the height of Twilight hysteria, could use a boost now that most people have moved on to new fandoms.<\/p>\n

I had so much fun!<\/p>\n
