Malibu and the Reagan Library
















As Dinah Washington once said..."What a difference a day made!" From 108 in Palm Springs to 78 in Malibu...love those low highs! I always thought that it would be fun to stay at the Malibu Beach RV Park, but I had no idea just how special it would be. Check out the view we have from our coach. Just sitting out back and letting nature's own air conditioning sweep over us as the wind blows across the very cold Pacific Ocean, makes for a perfect day. After we recovered form the bliss and peace of this place, we headed out this morning for the Reagan Library. What a large, well done piece of work this is. It is the largest of the presidential libraries and includes the Air Force One that President Reagan used during his two terms. I must say that they way they have this plane set up for tours is better than the five we went through at the Air Force Museum. They had guides placed throughout the plane to protect it and make it as much as it was when it was in use as they possible could. The guides were also available to answer any questions...including one that Delinda ask that the guide said he had never been asked before and was stumped. We really enjoyed, not only the tour of the plane, but the entire museum and very lovely grounds which included a large piece of the Berlin Wall. As is usual for Southern California, after a hazy start it turned out to be a beautiful day. We haven't seen any big time Hollywood stars...at least I don't think we have...but we have had a wonderful time.

Wow, what a fantastic view! Everyone's getting some beach/ocean time in, so I guess it's about my turn (I hope). This looks like a great place to stay and enjoy for a while! The Pacific might be too cold for swimming, but it sure keeps a nice breeze going... have a great time in Malibu!
