Beating the Winter Doldrums at the Cullen House

Monday, January 25, 2010

We decided to beat the gray winter blahs at the Cullen House by buying some red tulips. The Cullens think it brightens up the place!

Bill and Susan, the Cullen House innkeepers, are at the door and ready to greet all their guests. Tunny, the Cullen House cat enjoys the attention he receives from guests.

Sunny in Forks

Saturday, January 16, 2010

The weather forecasts were wrong. It is sunny in Forks today. Not so good for vampire sitings, but nice for us mere mortals who hate getting soggy!

Also, we were visited by a new tour company today. "Team Forks" has started doing tours on the weekends. They don't take reservations, you just show up at the Forks Outfitters parking lot. They plan on doing 3 tours a day on the weekends.

The Dazzled by Twilight Tours are still going strong and strongly recommend reservations to make sure that you get on the tour you want. Don't forget to stop in their store for a real Twilight experience.

AND there is a new photographer in town that is specializing in destination photography. You can have engagement, wedding, family reunion, pregnancy, girls weekend, Twilight birthday, etc, shots taken at the beach, rain forest, etc. Check out her website at: www.cherylbarthfineart.com

Now, come on over and enjoy the sunshine in January! We still have rooms available this weekend.

Wet and Wild January at the Cullen House

January 15, 2010

We have been having rain and wind in Forks. More than 5 inches of rain was reported for this past Monday and there were some high winds last night. Should make for some great storm watching at the beach this weekend with really high waves.

In the meantime, the Cullen family has gone winter camping in the Olympic Mountains. They were hoping to do some snowshoe hiking.

The Cullen House Innkeepers Holiday Travel

January 6, 2010

Happy 2010! The 12 days of Christmas are officially over and the Christmas decorations are coming down at the Cullen House. Valentine decorations are taking their place.

The Miller Tree Inn, innkeepers, Bill and Susan took a little holiday trip to see family. On their way to Idaho, they stopped at the View Point Inn. The View Point Inn is the site where the prom scenes were filmed for the Twilight movie. It is a beautiful spot with great views of the Columbia River.

On the way back from Idaho, Bill and Susan stopped for breakfast at The Carver Cafe, which is the place where Bella and her Dad eat in the Twilight movie and where Stephenie Meyer makes her cameo appearance. It was a fun experience and we recommend it to Twilight fans.

Happy New Year from all of us at the Cullen House!

December 31, 2009

This will be the last blog entry of 2009! The Cullen family have gone off to see in how many different time zones they can celebrate the New Year. From all of us at the "Cullen House," we wish you the very best in 2010 and will look forward to meeting many of you in the coming year. Keep safe!

Merry Christmas from the Cullen Coven

December 21, 2009

It is the Cullen family's favorite day of the year, the first day of winter and the shortest day of the year!

The Cullen's took off last night on an extended holiday. They are visiting other covens around the world, this Christmas. They would like to wish all of their fans a very Merry Christmas and a Happy 2010.

In the meantime, Tunny, the Cullen House cat is keeping a watchful eye out the front window. He thinks he heard the faint sound of jingle bells and knows that Santa is on his way!

Merry Christmas!

The Cullens Are Christmas Shopping

December 17, 2009

The Cullen Family have all gone shopping for the perfect Christmas gifts. Tunny, the Cullen House cat, thinks with him under the tree, they already have the perfect Christmas gift! Merry Christmas to All!

A Twilight Christmas Tree

December 10, 2009

On Sunday, December 6, our local Soroptomist's held their annual Christmas Tree auction. The Cullen House, got the winning bid for the "Twilight" tree. It is decorated in red, white and black and features the Cullen Crest as well as ornaments that look like the book covers. It is the perfect tree to help our guests celebrate a Cullen Family Christmas! Thanks to our neighbors Ted and Prue for getting the winning bid on this tree. Hope you can come see it in person. We believe in the 12 days of Christmas, so it won't come down until after January 6.

December 4, 2009
