Chronicles of a Stay-cation: Monterey

After a day of being back home from our San Diego/LA trip, we were back on the road again.  Next destination - Monterey.  We stayed for a night and visited our usual favorite spots.

We took a walk on the Wharf

Found this alley in downtown Carmel

Kaykay was still recovering from our San Diego Trip

Secluded beach - reminds me of my favorite beach in Hawaii - Waimea


Chronicles of a Stay-cation: Ronald Reagan Library & Museum

Our last stop on our stay-cation was the Ronald Reagan Library & Museum in Simi Valley.  I would recommend visiting this place if you haven't had the chance.  The library portion was filled with Reagan's memoirs and chronicles of his days from being a movie star to, what I believe, was one of the greatest presidents we've had.

Reagan's Airforce One was one of the highlights of the Museum; you actually got to go inside and tour; unfortunately they did not allow any photos.

Outside in the garden is Reagan's final earthly resting place.

A great way to end our final day of our stay-cation
