The Reagan Presidential Library

Wednesday we visited the Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, CA. The library was built on a hill looking north and east to valleys dotted with orchards and white fences. It was a warm and beautiful day to be out and about in sunny CA.

We enjoyed our visit very much.
