This week last year... 3/12/11-3/17/11

I have to admit that I had no idea what to expect when my friends and I decided to take a trip to Vancouver to try to see filming of Breaking Dawn, but it turned out to be one crazy adventure!

Here are some highlights from Canada... eh? :)

The first stop we made once getting to Canada was to Bella's house! We definitely screamed a bit when we found the house :) 

We took a tour of places where New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn were filmed.

I loved seeing the movie theater, getting to go into "Forks High School," see the area in the woods where Edward broke up with Bella in NM, and being able to spend time outside Jacob's house!

We spent a LONG and FREEZING day outside of the Orpheum Theater waiting to get a glimpse of Rob. Well, we didn't see him... but we were (deliriously) excited to see his car and driver, lol

Walking around Gastown was super fun

We headed up to Squamish with new friends and in a shiny silver (rented) Volvo!

It was gorgeous outside of the lodge we were hanging out/dining in!

Our fabulous (and creative) group of gals got to see and meet a bunch of the actors who were in the area filming the wedding scene in Breaking Dawn Part 1

Love me some P. Fach! And of course we had to get a pic with Chief Swan :)

On our last day in Canada, we headed over to see the Olympic torch in downtown Vancouver

before heading back home to the States.

Thanks for a fun and memorable trip, Canada!

On this day last year... 3/11/11

What a crazy day this was! It started out with an early morning phone call from home warning of a possible tsunami, and ended with a fun trip to Forks, WA...

We took a ferry ride from Seattle across the Puget Sound, through cute little towns (like Sequim!), on long and winding roads, past beautiful views of mountains, lakes, and woods...

... until we reached our destination!

 After a great day touring Forks and La Push, we were able to sleep soundly in our "Edward" room :)

On this day last year... 3/10/11

A year ago today, I was on a plane out to Seattle to begin a week-long Pacific Northwest vacation.

Having never been to this area of the country, I was excited to see all I could! 

Downtown Seattle

Lunch at a French restaurant

Heading to the Space Needle!

It was a little windy at the top!

I'm Going to Comic-Con!

In 138 days (not like I'm counting), I'll be flying out to San Diego to attend Comic-Con for the first time. I wasn't sure it would happen, but I was lucky enough to score a ticket through a friend of a friend. I've heard the convention is pretty crazy, with waits in long lines and tons of people, but I honestly am so excited to experience it all! Last year they had some really awesome panels and I'm hoping this year will be the same.

Here's my dream TV line-up:

 

All of the shows have had panels at Comic-Con before, other than American Horror Story (though it seems like it should, right?)

Here's is my dream movie line-up:

Yup, that's all :)

The schedule of events and panels should be released a few weeks before the convention, so I'm sure my list will grow a lot by the time I get out to San Diego. SO EXCITED!!!
