Eclipse is Coming!!!!

Sunday, June 27, 2010

The Cullen family are eagerly anticipating the release of the latest movie in the Twilight saga. Eclipse will be in Theaters on June 30.

Here at the Cullen House, we are planning on having a special Eclipse breakfast on Tuesday morning before sending our guests out for the midnight release that night. And just in time, we received a shipment of Cullen House mugs, which we will sell exclusively to our guests at the Miller Tree Inn aka "The Cullen House."

Spring in Forks

May 22, 2010

The Cullen Family is off for a hike in the Olympic Mountains, but at their home, the rhodys are in full bloom. With the sun out, it feels like spring!

Pocket Edward back on US Soil

In the past 24 hours, Pocket Edward had been in 5 different countries. He was in Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, Wales, England and now the USA. It has been an exhausting day for the humans in his life, but Edward is none the worse for wear. He did help us bags around. It is nothing for him to lift a few suitcases!

Pocket Edward in Ireland

May 15, 2010

Yes, Pocket Edward was in Ireland. Dublin to be specific. He has moved on, however and is currently in another country. Green fields and lovely coastliine abound. Some of Susan's (the resident innkeeper) family lives here...

Pocket Edward Visits a Pub

May 14, 2010

It is legal to go to a pub in this country, even if you are under 21. Since Pocket Edward is only 17...we let him come with us. We enjoyed the food here, Edward just waited for us, of course. But we did get him to pose by one of the country's most beloved exports!

Leaving Italy

May 12, 2010

After a trip to Lake Como, we took Pocket Edward out of Italy. Where did he go?
