I'm going to Washington!

It's official! I'm off to the Olympic Peninsula, Washington in May 2010.

I must say, I didn't expect to be making plans for such a big item on my list until closer to graduation, but I'm completely thrilled!

How it all started:
I put this item on my list for two reasons. First, I have a thing for this type of scenery. When I was in Ireland last summer, I fell in love with all the greenery—in particular where there are areas of lush green met the rocky beaches/cliffs. I told myself that I would find something similar in the U.S. and explore it. That brings me to my second reason...

Again, those of you who know me know that I'm currently obsessed with Twilight. Part of my fascination with the first movie was the scenery--it's just so beautiful! I began to research the locations that Summit used to film the movie, and although there were several locations, the Olympic Peninsula seemed to be in the center of it all. I did quite a bit of research and figured out exactly where I needed to go.

As more details of the trip become available I'll be posting them online--and I'll also try to blog from the trip (or just after it, depending on my mood, internet availability, etc.)
