A visit to the Reagan Library & Paradise Cove

Entrance courtyard to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library

Last Friday Wayne took Donna & I to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library over at Simi Valley.  It's in a beautiful part of California and like most places of this type, one day isn't enough to see it.  Lots of stuff there.  Lots of kids and tours to contend with, but we enjoyed our visit.  According to Wayne, it wasn't crowded - sure don't want to be there when it is!

Tuesday we drove the Pacific Cost Highway (pretending we're in one of those car commercials you see all the time) and stopped at Paradise Cove in Malibu.  Nice area and a great restaurant, but not quite as much beach as we were expecting.  We'd do better if we'd stop at one of the state parks along the way and walk the beach there. Besides, I wanna check out some of the state campgrounds along the way, too.

Still more to see as Wayne's provided us a boat load of other places to visit.  We've got our work cut out for us!

Weather-wise, we've had excellent weather.  Unfortunately, rain started today and will be around for the next 4 or 5 days.  I know - no sympathy from you guys back east.  Spittin' rain and mid 60s isn't so bad as shoveling our old driveway back in Altoona subdivision.  Trust me, I don't miss it! 

Anyway, that's it from here.  Gotta go work on Wayne's list.  Later, David

Yep, like most people out here, Reagan was a horse lover.

Piece of the Berlin Wall.
