The Derringdos

No, we didn’t build a replica of a speeder bike in the back yard. A couple weeks ago we visited Disney World for Spring Break. This was the first time Peabody and Nettie had gone to Hollywood Studios. They have a small Star Wars themed area with a 1:2 scale AT-AT, the short but awesome Star Tours ride and a super cute Jedi Training program for little kids (they fight Darth Vader at the end). You can even sit on an actual 74-Z! Now that Disney owns LucasFilm, we are hoping that Mickey will open a Star Wars Land devoted to one of our favorite movie franchises. Imagine the possibilities! Get a refreshing drink at the Mos Eisely Cantina. Ride the Kessel Run roller coaster. Eat roast Wampa arm as you wander through the Forest Moon of Endor!

Since our return from winter adventures in Orlando and St. Louis, we’ve been spending much of our adventure time at home, drinking chai, playing games, cooking, crafting and staying dry. It’s been an exceptionally chilly and rainy winter in Berkeley. Despite warnings of snow in Berkeley, it feels like spring is around the corner. It’s time to defrost the Derringdos!
