Camping and Fam Reunion in Forks, Wa

This last month we were able to go camping up at a church owned camp by Sun Valley. It was nice to get away and enjoy the outdoors. We were there for half a week and then immediately got back on the road to meet up with all of our Gentry family in Forks, Wa. Anxious to get there, we left a day early, stayed in Seattle, took the ferry the next day and arrived in Forks a few hours later. As we drove past the "Welcome to Forks" sign, we couldn't believe all the cars lined up to have their pictures taken while holding a lifesize cutout of Edward. I was a little disappointed I didn't get one myself! Dispite what you're thinking, we were not there for Twilight. My Dad was born and raised there and all of my sibling up until me were born there. It was nice to go back after 10 years or so and see relatives and how much things have changed (mostly because of Twilight). We stayed in La Push, Wa on the coast. It was absolutely gorgeous! Eric and I want to go back next year. It was a short but fun trip. We're a little bit sad that we didn't get to hangout with family more (Olive got sick so at least one of us had to stay in the hotel room quite a bit). But it was a fun filled weekend from the walk/lunch in the Rainforest, 4th of July parade, to the fireworks til 4 a.m.
