Saturday we went to the one place that Danny had wanted to go from the beginning - the Reagan Presidential Library. It was set in a breathtaking landscape, nestled in the mountains, and it was absolutely impressive.

We got to tour the Air Force One as well which is on site.
This photograph is made ENTIRELY out of jelly beans!
This is a picture from the back porch of the library. It was beautiful even on a cloudy, foggy day.
This is a piece of the Berlin Wall. Very neat to see.

After the library we went to lunch at Claim Jumper. As I sat there I kept looking at a man that I thought looked a lot like Mel Gibson. Then I realized that we were in California where it could possibly be him - so I looked closer and realized it actually was him eating four booths away! By the time we decided we were going to go and say something to him he was getting up to leave. A couple of the kids got up to follow him but he was already out in the parking lot, driving away in his fancy car with dark windows... even though we couldn't get a picture or autograph, we did get the below picture at the wax museum!
We continued up the coast and stopped at the Santa Barbara Mission. It was just beautiful. The garden was so peaceful I could have sat there all day...
The parking lot was full of really neat chalk drawings!
Then we drove a few more hours with absolutely gorgeous views the entire way! Our cameras were going off almost the whole day!
You can see Jacob here in the reflection taking a picture.
Then we arrived at our hotel for the night. It was nothing compared to the inn of the night before. Dark, dreary, and dated. It was kind of creepy. Jacob walked in and immediately thought it reminded him of the Tower of Terror! haha
