Skywalker Ranch

This weekend we took a mini vacation to Skywalker Ranch for Ahmed's 2nd season premier of "Robot Chicken". We had the amazing experience of staying on the Ranch in one of the suites. The Ranch was the most beautiful retreat, tuck in the middle of hundreds of acres of protected forest and farmland in Marin, Northern California. We stayed in the John Steinbeck inspired suite filled with his books. The most popular being "Of Mice and Men". It was a beautiful 2 bedroom with a fireplace. It was so peacefull and quiet we didn't want to leave the bedroom! All I wanted to do was drink hot chocolate and get cozy in front of the fire. From our window all we could see was reddish/orange leaves and rain gently misting over the green. A day that would seem gloomy to most, but I found it to be comforting and inspiring.
Marley had an amazing day, he met George Lucas and all of Skywalker Land. After the premier, The Skywalker Ranch fire department pulled out the trucks and allowed Marley to sit in the drivers seat. He screamed "Truck Mama, Truuuuuuuuck!"Ahmed lifted him inside and the rest was history..........until we removed him from the seat, he then had a melt down. ......Understood my son. ;)
