We are greeted by President and Mrs. Reagan in all their bronze glory.

One of the attached buildings to the library allows a visitor to board Reagan's Air Force One plane.

And there is no way we are going to pass up an opportunity to have lunch along the water!

And the sign says it all!  Here is a chance to spend the night in a hostel for $25 per person per night--that is if you like bunking with several ones
