Seattle & California Trips
While Nick drove to California, I was able to spend the weekend in Seattle with my good friend from BYU! She is from Seattle and I'd never been there before. We had a great time exploring the city, looking at old restored homes, walking on the beach, riding a ferry, taking a road trip, and just being silly together. Thanks again, Megan, for such a great trip!
After Seattle, I flew to San Francisco to join Nick while he took the Bar exam. While there Marisa and I went window shopping in Stanford. Then it was back to San Jose for a few days with the family. Here are lots of pictures - I kept the captions short, you can click on any pictures you want to see bigger.

The most amazing sunset ever, peeping into homes with lights on and no curtains to see the cool beach apartments
Snoqualmie Falls
Amazing waterfall with mist and a double rainbow, steep hike back, hiking nuns
Dinner with the Family
Yummy steak dinner with Megan's parents, great conversation, food for our road trip, atlas, binoculars
Riding a Ferry
Large boat, lots of cars, windy, jelly fish, gorgeous views - my first ferry ride
Road Trip
Took a road trip to Forks, drove on fir-lined highways, saw beautiful lakes, ate a yummy picnic at Port Angeles, took pictures of 'possible' filming sites from Twilight, bought matching Cullen's baseball shirts, ate yummy Sundaes, got lost finding a place to eat on the way home, watched Twilight until after 1am while eating pizza
Crazy Stanford Plants & Cupcakes
Popcorn popping on some kind of tree, plus some famous Sprinkles Cupcakes, yum

Looks like a lot of fun! I'm so jealous you got to go to Forks! The pictures look beautiful... and I can just picture Edward and Bella walking around ;)
You are quite the traveler!! I am so glad you're having fun!
yeah... hate to break it to you, but Twilight was filmed in Portland. However Forks has done a good job of welcoming the Twilight tourists. =) Your pictures make me homesick. Glad you had a good time...
What fun adventures! I loved your short descriptions- they said it all. I want to see a pic of you guys in your Cullen baseball shirts. :)
Tons of fun!! What a vacation! Forks looks so sunny and warm! No vampires around that day.
How cool!! What a fantastically fun summer to be having :) Way to go to Nick for doing the Bar. I loved the pics of the Jepsens. I haven't seen Doug or Peter for way too long. They look completely different! Did you know Marisa is coming out here to visit us? Miss you guys!

How Cool! I want to hear all the little details about Washington. I've always wanted to go there, but haven't made it yet. And Forks - totally cool. So fun to see pictures of Megan! I think I would have had a blast with you two. I miss silliness with you!
