The Reagan library is about 45 minutes from Los Angeles. Reagan picked a spot high on a mountain top with beautiful views of mountains, valleys and even the Pacific Ocean.
The library follows President Reagan and Nancy Reagan's life historically and personally. It's the largest of all the Presidential libraries containing many documents, photographs, state gifts and much more.
Reagan had a dream that one day Air Force One would be shared with the American people. His dream has come true. 
Air Force One is on display facing a 200 foot wide by 60 foot tall glass wall with an inspiring panoramic view (pictured). It's a 707. We were able to board the "Flying White House". It was an experience that makes history come to life as we realized how many presidents and world leaders flew in this plane, promoting freedom and democracy.

Then the President's office and First Lady's office behind that. Towards the rear of the plane are the staff rooms for the cabinet, guest compartments for official photographers and security, and then the press. We weren't allowed to take any pictures inside the plane.
Also in the Air Force One Pavilion were the Marine One Helicopter and the Presidential Motorcade limousine (shown).
Reagan wrote daily in his diary (see photo) and many love letters to Nancy. They had a very loving relationship. Some of those letters were on display.
We were able to view an exact replica of the Oval Office as it was when Reagan was president. We took a bunch of pictures there, but none of them came out. We were not allowed to use our flash, so all the pictures came out too dark to see anything.
Outside the library, on the grounds, is the Memorial site where Reagan was laid to rest on June 11, 2004. 
Also on the grounds is an actual piece of the Berlin Wall which was presented to Reagan at the library. The Wall stands at the entrance to a reproduction of the White House Rose Garden.
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the library. Reagan was a GREAT president. Our country would strongly benefit with another president with Reagan's integrity and passion for a free America.
