Memorial Day Weekend

My love and I were able to visit his parents over the Memorial Day weekend. Because I'm from the South, I forge that, in other parts of the world, it's cold when the South has begun to melt at certain times of the year. Such is the case where my love is from: The Mountains of Northern California. This Memorial Day Weekend surprised me with SNOW.

I was il-prepared in my flip-flops.

Something about this photo seems ironic...

This too seems ironic. We'd been to a luau the weekend before, enjoying an outdoor barbecue with 90 degree heat. We kept our lei and tied it around the mirror. Somehow it seems very out of place in this photo...

At any rate, it was a fabulous time!

our visit with Yoda

My love and I got to visit Yoda. 

We have a friend that works at LucasFilm just up the road from where we live. He invited us to come for lunch. It was great fun! This Yoda statue is one of the first things you see once you enter the complex that's hidden within the beautiful rolling hills of West Marin. 

Here's Yoda...

I think he's keeping the secrets of the building.

George Lucas' office is held within this beautiful house. The library was something to be drooled over, complete with spiral staircase and ladders to reach the top shelves. There was even a book on display that highlighted the computer animation of our friend! The restaurant inside was serving Thai food for lunch. YUM!

We had a great time seeing the sights and enjoying what lies behind the secret gate of LucasFilm!
