Who has visited the Reagan Library?

I visited there last year on my 19th birthday. It was extremely fascinating to see the exhibits relating to Pres. Reagan. It was really hard for me to not to cry while viewing his gravesite. Even though I wasn't around during his presidency, I hold some of the highest respect for Pres. Reagan because I know he had a vital role in protecting our country and my future from being ripped out from underneath me. My dad raised me to respect Pres. Reagan. It was so difficult for me when Pres. Reagan died. I was 13. I wanted to go to the viewing when he was laying in State in the Capitol. I was upset I couldn't go ( I live in California and plane tickets aren't exactly cheap). My goal is to work in Pres. Reagan's library one day.

Mischa,

It is my home away from home.

That is a very honorable and noble cause you have and I wish you all the success and luck in the world making it happen.

I was there for the first time 3 weeks ago (Today is 2/14/10). I'm looking forward to my next visit. I'll need to get a bigger memory card for my camera, in addition to learning a little more on how the darned thing works. But I digress.
I thought the Reagan Library was spectacular. I especially enjoyed Air Force One, but it was hard to believe how small and cramped it actually was. Hard to see how anyone moved around on that plane.
My daughter is enamored with horses, so she was in her element at the Reagan Library. Also liked the belt buckle exhibit.
As I stood by President Reagan's grave site, I couldn't help but think how much we need him now. Perhaps God will answer my prayers to send us someone who can implement President Reagan's vision for our great country. It's both sad and frightening to see how far we've fallen from what we were under President Reagan's leadership.
I live less than 1 mile from the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda. Might I recommend that as well?

When I went to the Reagan Library, I wished I could stay forever, but it is my goal to work there someday, so, I may get to go everyday in the future sometime.

PS
I really enjoyed taking photos too, but there is so much to soak in that you can't get everything on camera. lol
