The water is so clear that the mountains reflect off it as though it’s a mirror. My favorite part of the drive was Lake Crescent. Being a Kansas native, I’d never been to the Pacific Northwest, and the nature captivated me. The road wound through snow-capped mountains and past giant evergreen trees. The Pilgrimage to ForksĪs Daniel and I drove along Highway 101, I couldn’t help envisioning the opening of the Twilight movie. So, when my husband received the opportunity to give a lecture at Peninsula College in Forks, Washington, the home of Bella Swan and the Cullens, I had to go with him.

I turned to other vampires for my schoolgirl daydreams, namely the Sookie Stackhouse series and its HBO adaptation True Blood.
But as I got older and Twilight became too “juvenile,” my passion dwindled. Over the next few years, I devoured all the Twilight books and eagerly watched the first movie in theaters.

Jaime didn’t talk about books much, so when she couldn’t stop raving about this new vampire romance series, I knew I had to read it. My friend Jaime introduced me to the books during our freshman year.
Like many women my age, I adored the Twilight Saga in high school. I’m so grateful we had that opportunity, and I encourage any Twihards to travel to Forks when the pandemic ends. My husband and I visited Forks in early March 2020, right before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the world. In honor of next week’s release of Midnight Sun, I want to share my history with Twilight and my recent trip to Forever Twilight, the Twilight Saga Museum in Forks, Washington.
