We spent today driving to
Simi Valley to go to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. We decided we didn't need a van for our one day excursion, so we rented a car. Not just any car.......but a royal blue, Mustang convertible. Do you think my hubby is going through a mid-life crisis? ;-)
The kids weren't too sure about it at first, but it quickly grew on them.
Samantha kept pushing the hair out of her face and saying "windy!".
We got to the museum about 1/2 hour before it opened, kinda unlike us. ;-) So we took advantage of the
beautiful scenery. They had a mini rose garden that, of course we had to use as a background.
As we wandered around we found a Memorial site with the Presidential seal on it. What do you think, do we have future Presidents on our hands? ;-)
"Do you think we will shake my hand?" ;-)
Part of the museum was Reagan's old Air Force One, the actual thing!. It was pretty cool walking through the same plane the a former United States President flew on and made lots of important decisions on!
On the way back to the hotel we stopped for lunch at a restaurant called Chevy's. We first discovered Chevy's in Chicago 4 years ago while there celebrating Marc's birthday. It is a Mexican restaurant. When it is
someones birthday, they sing to you, give you an ice cream sundae, and a birthday sombrero. We have celebrated his birthday at a Chevy's every year for the last three years (yes, we have 3 of the sombreros in our house). So, of course, Marc found one in CA for us to go to again this year. Samantha thought Daddy looked silly in the sombrero.
Then the kiddos had to try it on.
It was a good first day in CA! :-)
