Presidential Library and Danish Country

We are both tired from traveling, but are feeling great about being on our vacation. Using Dollar Rent-a-car out of LAX is a bit of a hassle, but once we got on the road, we have had pretty smooth sailing.

We drove from LA to Simi Valley and the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. We saw a portion of the Berlin Wall, Marine 1, and Air Force 1. It is the actual Air Force 1 used by all of the presidents from Ford through Bush 2. We were able to tour the inside which was quite an experience.

We toured an exact replica of the Oval Office as it was during Reagan's presidency. We also saw a miniature of the White House that is precisely scaled and is constantly updated to include the changes made during each presidency. It was fascinating looking through the window of the White House and seeing scaled versions of paintings and photographs that are on the wall of the actual White House.

From the Reagan Library we drove to Solvang and our hotel. We are both bushed, but got a dinner at a local cafe. Tomorrow we plan on packing a picnic lunch and heading out on the local wine trail. We have reservations at the Los Olivos Cafe (as seen in Sideways).
