Here and There
We have had a couple of pretty laid back weekends since our last posting. Two weeks ago we went to the neat town of Orange CA to visit one of Tim's former teammates from Greensboro College. We spent the day walking around Historic Orange and visiting with Lawren, his Wife and their 3 children. Last weekend we headed down the street to Six Flags to ride a few roller coasters before the Final Four.
Yesterday we went to The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in Simi Valley. The Museum was quite remarkable, it definitely exceeded our expectations. Unknown to us, we ended up timing our visit to the Library very well, as it was the last weekend the Miniature White House exhibit would be on display. Unfortunately flash photography is not allowed, so our pictures will not do justice to this phenomenal replica. But I was able to track down more in-depth pictures of the model here. One of the highlights of The Museum is the pavilion that hosts President Reagan's Air Force One, Marine One and his motorcade. We were able to board the Air Force One, but have no pictures since photography is not allowed while on the plane. The 80's state of the art communication center on Air Force One is now laughable, but it was really cool seeing President Reagan's Nuclear Football sitting in between the seats of the communication center. Also featured at The Museum is the suit worn by President Reagan when he was shot, a section of the Berlin Wall, a full-sized replica of The Oval Office and President Reagan's final resting place.
For our Sunday outing we went hiking at Runyon Canyon Park in the Hollywood Hills. This 4 mile hike had amazing views throughout its 1000 ft. of elevation change.
As usual, for the rest of the photos visit our Picasa page.

I like the new methods for viewing the blog. Everyone should give them a try. I think http://www.themillerhighlife.blogspot.com/view/sidebar is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteAlso, kudos on all of the hyperlinks in this blog post. Mark Zuckerberg had better watch out. There's a new computer scientist in town.
Glad you enjoyed the hyperlinks as much as I enjoyed setting them all up. It's like a scavenger hunt from your couch.
ReplyDeleteI am a mere consumer of user friendly technology. Trust me, working would not be a part of traveling if I were Zuckerberg-esque.
