Twilight fans? Warning, Contains Spoilers!!

I recently picked up the first book. It's awesome. Bella Swan and Edward Cullen are great for one another. I gotta get the other books soon. I found Twilight in Kroger, of all places. Haha. Stephanie Meyer is a phenominal writer.

My daughter and I, along with my sister & a friend from our book club, are going to Forks WA this Thur - Sun.  We're hoping to catch the Twilight movie premier in Port Angeles, but not holding our breath!  They're not doing advance ticket sales and our priority is to see Forks & the surrounding area.

I had an article recently posted on the Forks Forum; it's an attempt to explain the draw of the books, esp to adult readers.  Here's the link if anyone is interested in reading it:

GypsyWriter,  trust me, you won't be disappointed!  Make sure you stop by the Forks visitors center.  They have Twilight maps pointing out all the landmarks for you to find.  When we were there last summer, they gave out goody bags with the  map,  "official" chamber of commerce twilight trivia tests, and a little bag of sand from First beach.  At  Forks outfitters they have  authentic "Love At First Bite"  Forks t-shirts (if they still have em!)  They make great bragging fodder-saying they were bought IN Forks! 

Try to make a side trip down to LaPush- you will never forget it.  Like the author of that article said, standing on those windswept, isolated beaches is truly breathtaking and magical!  When we were there in the height of summer I think there was only 1 or 2 other people on the whole beach.  It was the same thing at second beach right down the road,  we had the whole place to ourselves- it was indescribable.  Second beach is a bit of a physical hike though..  If you go, be  warned that there are ginormous drift TREES (not little driftwood) that you have to climb over to get to the beach.   If you didn't see them earlier in this thread, here are some of our pics.  Hope you have a great time!

Ok.  I finally jumped on the bandwagon and am reading the series.  I hesitated as its considered Young Adult.  But I read the Potter books which are aimed at a young audience and enjoyed them, so I took the plunge.  I am so glad I did!  I am thoroughly enjoying the story and just LOVE the characters.  I'll definitely go see the movie, but I'll probably have to sneak off alone when the hubby is working and the boy is in school.  Yay!  What fun!

Thanks for the link to the great photos, Lady Neysa!  I had to giggle when I saw your message in the sand at the beach.

We've had the whole trip mapped out for several months, and defiintely plan to visist La Push, including the Quileute museum & First Beach.  I can hardly believe that 24 hours from now I'll be en route to Forks!

Thanks again for the info and for sharing your photos.

I wish I were going with Autumn too!  LOL!  Tell her big sis said hi!  As it is, my guys have no interest so I'll be skulking off to see it on my own in the next week.  I'm sure you'll have fun Scotsman.
