Yesterday, Matt and I drove to Simi Valley to visit the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum. First, two words about thriftiness. We're thrifty! We packed our lunch, coasted on the downhills, used his employee discount, and flashed my AAA membership. Whole day cost us $10. No lie. (Well, not counting the trip to Office Depot afterwards to stock up on supplies for my journalism students. That part was less thrifty.)
The museum is excellent. We set aside the politics and just soaked in the beauty of the setting, the wonder of the memorabilia, and most of all, the magnitude of a life well lived.
My take-away: The best years of our lives are yet ahead of us.
Matt's take-away: Say what you want about Ronald Reagan, but two things are inarguable. The man loved America. And the man loved his wife.
Then he said some other stuff that was lovely and touching ... and that made me hope this honeymoon bubble we're floating in lasts forever.
