Ronald Reagan Library

R8 reminded me that I was here. I make no bones about the fact that I am a Reagan-ite.

I admired his charisma, and what he did for our country’s spirit.

We were in Southern California and Mrs. viii suggested that we drive up to Simi Valley to see the Reagan Presidential Library. I had never visited a Presidential Library before, so it sounded like a good idea. We loaded up the minivan and away we went. It’s kind a of a long drive from Anaheim. The distance wasn’t bad, it was the traffic.

The library itself was very interesting. There were a lot of items on display from President Reagan’s time in the White House and from earlier in his life as well.

President Reagan had just passed away about three weeks prior to our visit, so there were a lot of memorials on the grounds. He had been buried on the grounds, you could see the grave, but there was no tombstone yet in place.

Needless to say I got a few strange looks when I snapped this picture of the gang.
