Dad and Bonnie are in town for the Thanksgiving holiday. Yesterday the kids and I took them to the Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley. The last time I was hear with the boys doing a geocache on Presidential Libraries, we only toured the outside garden area of the grounds. Since that visit, Reagan passed away so this location is now also his burial site. Also new is the Air Force One Museum. The Boeing 707 that was as Nik put it yesterday "President Reagans Ride for his international trips" is on permanent indoor display, pointing out a window that is the entire wall of this huge building. The view of the surrounding hill of Simi valley from this vantage point are spectacular. It was also a picture perfect day, with crystal blue sky's, excellent air quality and temps in the low 80's. We spent about 3 hours touring the museum. which really has something for everyone, from a reproduction of the Oval Office at the white house as it was during Reagans terms, to some of Nancy's beautiful gowns from formal functions to the highlight for me of Air Force One and its companion Marine One, the helicopter that shuttles the president from the White House to Andrews Air Force Base where Air Force one is housed. It was a fun visit and once I would recommend to anyone.
