Simi Valley, CA (USA)
We'll be leaving California soon, so we wanted to visit with our relatives one more time. Left San Diego at 0800L - drove on I-805 to I-5. Switched to CA-118 and used it all the way to Simi Valley (it is called the Ronald Reagan Freeway by that point...). We met Aunt Nelle and Uncle Terry at the Reagan Presidential Library (1045L) and took a tour. It was a very interesting place - lots of great exhibits. I've always admired President Reagan, so I really enjoyed the experience. We had lunch at Chilis with Aunt Nelle & Uncle Terry. I showed them some old photos that I had of the family - Aunt Nelle seemed really happy. We had a great visit and were sad to say goodbye to them. After the meal, we drove back towards Los Angeles via CA-118 (west) to CA-23 (south) and took Malibu Canyon Road to CA-1 (Pacific Coast Highway). We enjoyed the ambiance of Malibu and took our time. Found a place called "Coogie's Beach Cafe"... I made a wrong turn near the airport - but we eventually made it to Kathy's (Rossmore). We went to dinner with Mary and Leo, Kevin and Kathy at Shanghai Reds in Marina Del Rey - it was good. Back to Kathy's (late) - (Hancock Park ?) - spent the night...
