Ronald Reagan Library & Museum

After a fun morning with Mike, Mary and Mason, we headed to the Ronald Reagan Library and Museum. It's hard to not be inspired by all that Reagan was and his legacy continues. 

This was cool seeing the teleprompter. And of course getting to be the presidential speaker!

Recreated Oval Office with actual furniture from his Oval Office. Note the jar of Jelly Bellies by the lamp. 

Air Force One

Boarding Air Force One! It was used by 7 presidents up to George W. Bush, though the latter took a token flight on it to be the 7th president on it before the plane was retired. We couldn't take pictures inside, unfortunately, but it was a nice plane. Sure would be nice if regular planes were as comfortable. 

A snack after seeing the plane. And chocolate cake. Apparently Reagan had a chocolate cake on board each flight just in case it was someones birthday or some other celebration. Smart man. Good taste. 

The library also had a Disney collection on hand for a temporary exhibit.

Dinner at Umami Burger afterward. Great burgers. Recommendation came from Giada de Laurentis' opinion on Best Thing I Ever Ate.
