Forks Round 2. Part 6

The Hoh Rainforest. Please forgive the very low quality pictures. This place was AMAZING. I think it's one of those places where you have to see it in person to really SEE it. Well, was that a confusing enough sentence for ya? Anyways, my mouth just hung open the entire time. From giant moss covered trees to crystal clear marshes (I know they aren't supposed to be so clean, but these truly were), I was in heaven. We were all alone on our self guided hike. The visitor's center wasn't open the day we went so there weren't even any workers.

↓↓This section was called The Hall of Mosses. Oh my. Can you say ethereal? I don't think a picture on earth could do it justice. You have to physically be standing there, in the midst of these giant moss draped trees. It is an experience I will never forget. So get yourself to The Hoh Rainforest people!↓↓

Since we were smack in the middle of a rainforest, all we heard was nature. No man made noises of any kind, besides ourselves of course. In this last picture, all I wanted was to make it to the other side and build myself a shelter and live there. But sadly, I was in danger of slipping (which I wouldn't have minded so much if I didn't have this deathly fear of deep water) so I vowed the next time I came I'd be more prepared. Mentally and in the shoe department...

Well folks, this is the end. I loved all of it and I hope you did too.

Bella's truck(s). One was a legit, really old and pretty funny looking truck :) The other was the one they used in the films- neither of which would I like to be caught cruising in...

The trucks were at the Commerce building so we went inside to just browse a bit and found these... The stars themselves! At least their cardboard selves...

I laugh every time I see these. Oh Jenna. Maybe I'm jealous. I would love to hold Taylor Lautner's hand though...

We went souvenir shopping where I was practically forced into this.

This however I was happy to do. Don't we make a great couple?

Forks Round 2. Part 4

As I said, we went to two different beaches. These are some photos of the second beach we went to. This one was a short drive from the first and was much more low key and not as dangerous.
