I Visited The Nixon Library & Birthplace for Presidents Day!

When I was finished posting my blog about the holiday events scheduled at the Richard Nixon Library and Birthplace in Yorba Linda I thought to myself; I would like to go! I only live 5 minutes from the library and my husband was home and he had never attended. I thought what a nice little adventure for us to go on to celebrate Presidents day...and it was FREE!

The place was packed! The were war protesters and Bush haters out in front and the parking was a challenge but it was all worth it when we stepped inside the foyer and walked across the presidential seal in the floor. All on my memories form 12 years ago rushed back. This was the area where Nixon's casket was when we attended the public viewing.

We walked though the very well arranged Museum. The Docents were very happy to tell us their favorite stories of the archives and special items that were on display. We even heard a story about the phone President Nixon used to call the astronauts while they were in space. It was a very educating and enjoyable tour.

As we walked through the garden to the East Room we realized that we were a little too late to get a seat for the special presentation by "George Washington" &"Abraham Lincoln". I was able to stand a while and listen to a few questions from school childeren to President Lincoln.
