Day 2 - Headed to Forks

Tuesday morning before we headed to Forks, we took the monorail BACK over to the Seattle Center.  Cam was feeling MUCH better today, and we took a few pics, and scoped out "Conner".  I will just say, Cam is a BIG talker.....and not so much on the action (wink wink). 
We went on the Ride the DUCKS tour, and it was so much fun !  Part bus, Part boat, and we traveled around Downtown Seattle for a VERY interesting tour. 

We sat right up front, and our tour guide was a HOOT. 
Oh the sights we saw, and the fun things we learned.
If you want to see a SIGHT - just go see the Fre "Monsters" during the Summer Solstice.  Apparently we just missed it by a few days..........thank goodness.
Our DUCKS boat entered Lake Union, and we saw Gas Works Park, the Sleepless in Seattle House.......
.....another view of Seattle...........
Then I bravely rented a care (all by myself) and drove in downtown Seattle (all by myself..........with a excellent guide) and got on the FERRY without incident (Thank goodness). 
The Ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge takes about 35 minutes.  It moves along at a brisk pace........
....and is quite windy in spots (haha) 
The 3 1/2 hour drive to Forks was BEAUTIFUL, and again we were blessed with a beautiful beautiful day.  There was just one small delay due to road construction, but we were right next to Crescent Lake, and it was totally a non-issue.  
Just as we were coming into town, we had to STOP and take a picture !!!! Yeah!!!!
Now to find Edward and Jacob (haha) - actually Forks is a nice small town, but a disappointment, in that the Twilight Book Series in SET in Forks, but NONE of the movie filming was DONE in Forks.   So you can't see the house from the movie, the high school, the cafe, etc.  
We traveled half way between Forks and La Push Beach to our Air B n B.  This is the view out our front door..........
This is the inside........... with Cam relaxing
Pretty cute, huh?  
And this was the OUTSIDE -  A TINY HOUSE !!!
So cute and fun.  Something new, and MUCH better than an old motel.

Our 2nd day is done - think we'll put on a movie..........
Twilight anyone??
