One day while my parents were here, we headed up to the Reagan Presidential Library up in Simi Valley, California. I think this is a must-see for visitors to LA. Regardless of your political party, it’s an excellent museum full of all kinds of American history. I LOVE going up there. The last time I was there was Valentine’s Day last year! And this time, we’re visiting with our baby! ![]()
I wonder if Adele was one of the youngest visitors (she was three weeks old!)

I think my parents really enjoyed it too. They remember a lot of the events that happened during his presidency, so it’s exciting to see the exhibits. ![]()
The highlight for sure is the actual Air Force One plane that had been used for SEVEN presidents! Nixon all the way through Bush! ![]()
Adele loved the big plane too. See? ![]()
My parents really loved it. It was an excellent way to spend the morning. ![]()
After we were done, we headed over to the town of FIllmore on a whim. They have a historic train village that my dad wanted to check out. ![]()
Apparently the whole town shuts down on Mondays, so we couldn’t see too much, but it was nice to get a walk in anyways. ![]()
After we got our fill of trains, we headed back for a relaxing afternoon at home. I love doing fun out-of-the-way touristy things when people come to visit. There is so much more to LA than Hollywood and the Beaches. ![]()
One of the many reasons why I love Southern California! Adele is so lucky she will grow up here! I can’t wait to explore more with her as she grows!
