…I was driving home through metro LA and stopped to mark off the Reagan Presidential Library and gravesite for my A Site for Each President quest, which features retired Air Force One and Marine One aircraft. Funny enough, I’ll be marking off the other LA-area presidential library tomorrow—the Nixon Library.

I was then able to catch up with a couple #ParkChat friends. (I’ll see Krista again this weekend, too).
