Characterz

Mickey, Pluto, and Chip&Dale were all delighted to see Edward come to the Disneyland parks.

Bleh

At our afternoon in Anaheim's Downtown Disney, Edward found this lovely painting of him with some ho.

A Magical Place

Today, Edward enjoyed a visit to one of the hippest, most happening areas of Hollywood...only the elite dare enter, mostly celebs and such...it's known only as the Grove. 

Cedric Diggory?

Our good friends/life partner over at Blogs LOL, Jr. posted about Edward, and how, due to the transitive property, Edward Cullen = Robert Pattinson = Cedric Diggory.

The FACE??

Reunited & it Feels so Good

Oops, almost forgot this gem! At Madame Tussaud's in London, Edward reunited with his Tri-Wizard Tournament opponent, Harry Potter!

Edward's Trip to London

After our visit to Forks, Colleen & Emily decided to take Edward to another metropolitan area... some think of it as the Forks of the United Kingdom... London! Here are some pictures of his favorite memories of our voyage across the Atlantic. 

Edward went to see the Queen at Buckingham Palace.

Making a long distance phone call to Forks.

               Edward visiting St. Paul's Cathedral.

The Tower of London...Spooooky, Scary!

Edward posed with one of the guards of the Queen's jewels.

Back to LA...Finally!!

We finally made it back into the glorious smog and pollution of Los Angeles County around 10 on Sunday evening. After passing through snowstorms in Northern California, we settled in to watch the DVD we spent the weekend traveling for with Edward.

Hilton at Twilight

On our way home, we decided to break up the trip with an overnight stop. Edward joined us in our Parlour Suite at the Hilton in Eugene, Oregon.

Grabbing a Bite

Even though fast food isn't a part of his "special diet," Edward joined us at a Chili's in Eugene, Oregon, and a Wendy's in Ashland, Oregon.

Edward Loves Starbucks

On our trip home, Edward got his caffeine fix at Starbucks in Aberdeen, Washington; Portland, Oregon; and Ashland, Oregon.

Edward in Forks

Because it was sunny during our visit, Edward only came out twice during our time in Forks: Once on the bus during the tour, and once outside our hotel:

Breaking Dawn

By some small miracle, Colleen managed to wake Emily up at 7:30 to leave their sumptuous $58 suite at the Olympic Suites Inn for Dazzled by Twilight's Breaking Dawn tour. Our tour guide Travis, a fellow Los Angeles-to-Forks transplant, drove us around Forks and La Push during the 2-hour tour. 

Our first stop on the tour was the Forks City Hall, where they have this Twilight-inspire display case.

Here is Colleen at the local inn, where "Esme" leaves notes for the guests.

We posed in front of Forks High School and tried to recreate the car crash scene with Bella's pickup truck.

We posed with "Dr. Carlisle Cullen" at the Forks Hospital.

 

Here is us in front of Bella's house (the blue one) and Jacob's house (note the motorcycle on the porch).

Here are pictures of First Beach in La Push, the reservation for the Quileute tribe, where Bella cliff jumps in New Moon.

During the tour, we stopped for breakfast on the border between Forks and La Push, aka the "Treaty Line," where the Cullens can't pass onto the werewolf/Quileute boundries. 

 

  

With the famous Forks sign.

Colleen got a picture wearing Bella's vest at the hardware store where she works in the books.

Before we left, we got a picture with the sign at our hotel:

"Edward Cullen didn't sleep here."

Day 1: Los Angeles to Forks

Last Thursday, Colleen and Emily made the executive decision to roadtrip directly to Forks, the Twilight home base so to speak, from Los Angeles... approximately 1,300 miles... without stopping. We left Thursday night at 9:30... 1 In N Out, 3 Starbucks, 5 Mobil stations, 1 unfortunate Denny's breakfast, and an untold number of cows later, we arrived in Forks, Washington at around 7 the following evening.
