For most of you, its relatively obvious that we are, by nature, politically conservative. And most of you also remember our wonderful little dog's name: Reagan Liberty. While we would never be that direct in naming a child, we thought it was a pretty classy way to slip our firm standing into a family name. And no, we didn't actually realize Reagan had a Cavalier before we got Reagan...
So while in California, we visited the
Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum. It was incredible, and not just to staunch young conservatives like us; everybody there seemed to be amazed by The Great Communicator, all the things he had to say (people took pictures of his
quotes), the impact he had while president. Perhaps its a little cheesy to say, but our patriotism and love of this country grew a little more that day.

| Marine One...not Reagan's. Actually it was Kennedy's because Reagan's was still in use up until 2010. |

| Air Force One! In front of it is a wall of windows...that's how they got the plane there! |

So if you should ever find yourself in southern California, the Reagan Library is worth a couple of hours to visit.
