There are two Presidential libraries in Southern California, Nixon and Reagan. Both were contemporary presidents so I let the girls choose which one to visit. Of course they chose the closer one. :)
There's a full size replica of the Oval Office as it looked while he was president.
President Dan
We learned about many of the good things he did like trying his best to end the Vietnam War.
He was not a war hawk.
He opened dialog and visited China after decades of no communication between them and us.
Here's a piece of the Berlin Wall that faced West Germany.
But the back of the Berlin Wall really tells the real story.
In East Berlin, the people were not free enough to get close to it.
His office in his home in San Clemente.
And of course what he will always be infamous for.
He was born on this property...
...in this house.
And he and his wife are buried here.
It was a good educational trip.
