You know your a Twilight fan when.....


Last week the husband was on a plane coming back from, well let's just call it a Time Out for Men. An annual trip where the guys gather together for two days in some Colosseum, only breaking for lunch and sleep, to watch the National College Wrestling Tournament. This year it was in Omaha Nebraska.

Anyway, he was sitting next to a gentleman who was on his way back from Forks Washington where he took his family for their Spring Break vacation. From what the husband gathered, per their conversation, this man's wife and young daughter are huge Twilight fans and wanted to visit the small town where Bella Swan and Edward Cullen met and fell in love.

Apparently this family lives in Mississippi and chose to travel clear across the country to vacation in Forks Washington. I'm embarrassed to admit, being a Washington resident and having read the entire Twilight series and seen the first two movies, that I consider myself a Twilight fan. I'm ashamed of myself, not once did I even consider doing a road trip to Forks. It's obvious I truly don't know the meaning of what it takes to be a real Fan.

But you can bet your bottom dollar when Eclipse comes to the theater's I'll be a waiting in line for the first showing wearing my Edward Cullen shirt shouting, "Go Team Edward!"

I am so sad I will be missing your "team Edward" shirt.

We should plan a "Fireside" to Forks one weekend. That would be fun then we can claim we are true fans :)

Wow! That's hard core fanmanship to fly out to visit the place! I'm impressed!
You'll have to let us know if you decide to ever go visit the place!
