Oregon/Washington

Ok to start this post off I must say...I am so so so glad to be home lol.

2 vacations back to back that really had no true relaxation was just to much lol, I am tired, sick and man my ankle hurts lol.

We took Ashley up through Oregon to Port angelis Washington and then all the way back through it all lol.

I grew up in Forks Washington, a truely small town. Its one of those little towns you drive through and wonder how the hell people can live there lol. The town is a few blocks big...thats it...one long main street and some houses...no real stores or decent resteraunts, but it was home.

For years I have wanted to take Ashley there, to show here the place I loved so much, but until she read her book she was never interested. Seems that a book called Twilight was set in Forks washington, and this book is huge in the teen world, people from australia, italy, africa and so much more have been to Forks to see it lol...man they must have been dissappointed lol...but Ashley loved seeing it, to see the locale become real.

We went to a Wildlife Safari first, and I must say it was amazing. I love animals, anyone who knows me at all knows that, so seeing them all roam free was amazing. The lions and the black bears where in cages...thats it...the big ass scary bears were in an inclosure you drive through, free roaming in there, right at your car lol...it was so freakin cool...I fell in love with this place, all that they do...amazing.

















































There are tons and tons of pics here as well

Then we went to an aqarium that was so cool...they have glass tunnels you walk through...and the sharks are righ there...it was amazing. I love sharks, you just have no clue...seeing them so close, so big and all around me, over me, under me and on all sides...it was amazing.








































Once again at the above link there are tons of the pics (I will put them on flickr soon).
