We went to Simi Valley today and saw the R. Reagan museum. I found it facinating, but Robby was quite bored most of the time. We saw an exact Replica of the Oval Office, Pres. Reagan's Air Force One and Marine One. Several interesting displays included the suite he was wearing when he was shot, his saddle and boots, various gifts from dignitaries around the world and a piece of the Berlin Wall. There is also a 50 foot replica of the whitehouse that is like a really accurate, cool dollhouse. The museum also includes his gravesight. The museum is going through a major renovation in preparation for Reagans's 100th birthday celebration next year. It will have a lot more interactive areas and displays. I would love to go back and see it. I can see why he loved the area so much. The views in the valley are beautiful. It is so peaceful and serene. It must have been very relaxing to go to the ranch and excape the craziness that is Washington DC. He was an incredible man and did much to be admired for.
