We all have a happy place somewhere on this planet. It’s that place we refuge to when we want to escape from reality. My safe haven is my grandparent’s ranch which is located in Michoacan, Mexico. This property has been family owned since 1956, so it has plenty of family history. My father and six of his siblings were born in different areas of the ranch’s home. A few of my aunts also had their weddings out in the backyard. The family history that this ranch holds is the main reason that it will always be my safe haven.

The appearance of the home is like any traditional mexican home. The home has a huge entrance that consists of two tall wooden doors with a colorful mosaic design that runs through the middle of both doors. The outside walls are covered in neutral toned stones.

The rail of the staircase also has a nice brown tone making the staircase uniform. As you make your way up the curving stairs, you get a better view of the crystal chandelier and a view of more family pictures. The second floor of the house has four large rooms. The first and largest room on the second floor is my grandparent’s master suite. They have double wooden doors that lead to their master bedroom. Their room remains a mystery to all the grandchildren in the family because our parents do not allow any of us to enter the room out of respect. The furthest any grandchild has seen of their room was a mere glimpse. The second and third rooms are just plain guest rooms. The last room at end of the hallway is the hangout
