last trip of the summer, washington.

My dad came to Seattle for a visit, see. And we took a trip to the peninsula.

... With the exception of the innumerable Twilight gift shops, posters, and signs that have swallowed the itty bitty town of Forks. Example:

Dad: Hi. I need a room with two double beds.

Lady at front desk: Absolutely. Would you like a regular room, or a Twilight room?

...

It's hard to stay bothered at a bit of commercial self-exploitation when you're standing at the most beautiful place you've ever seen in the continental United States.
