The Reagan Presidential Library and Ojai

We got up and had a relaxing morning with Bob and Carolyn and then drove to Simi Valley to visit the POTUS site. Enjoyed a terrific and unbelievably inexpensive lunch an Italian place near the library. Then spent several hours in the museum/library/shrine to the former President. Very well done lots of interactive stuff and some great old pictures and film. They have the actual 707( tail number 27000)that RWR used as Air Force One for his entire 8 year term in the museum and it is open to walk thru.
Chris and I were reminded that we took an older version of that plane (25000) o China in 1980 with a Congressional delegation. Great old memories and a spectacular Exhibit!
Then off to Ojai a quaint artsy town in a beautiful valley. After a refreshing ice-cream break
We drove back to Oxnard to relax and wait for Abby to return from her traumatic first day at obedience school we enjoyed IN-N-OUT BURGERS - Chris's first experience.
Just struck me that food seems to be a major focus of this blog and we have not mentioned the wonderful California wines we have enjoyed.

  1. Sorry about the duplication; we don't know how to delete yet. I also wanted to comment on Reagan (so my parents don't roll over). I admire him as a person who sincerely liked people, who never forgot his lowly roots, and who had a great sense of humor. 'Nuff said.

  2. California living, on the coast, includes great wines, food, weather and walks on the beach. We are happy you are enjoying these with us.
