We loved the Library. It was uncrowded, the workers and volunteers were wonderful (even if this sweet, kinda withered old man chastised me for taking flash pictures--he suggested holding my finger over the flash and that worked just fine.)
My favorite part was the Oval Office replica (pictures to come soon.) The Museum Store--housed down the street--was a disappointment. A lot of cheesy cheap crap, but I did buy a William J Clinton Presidential Library checkbook cover and an "I MISS BILL" bumpersticker.
I also liked the letters on display and the gifts they received from the American people and world leaders.
The Cafe 42 is in the basement of the building and we had a good lunch there--crab salad and chocolate torte for me, and my mother and Sis had the chicken salad and the Hillary cookies.
Speaking of my Mother. Sigh. Y'all haven't lived until you've taken a 9 hour road trip with an 80+ year old woman.
But it was a good time, and now I want to visit the Harry S Truman Presidential Library in Missouri.
--more photos to come--

Spidey: LOTS!
Bert: I'm sure Limbaugh was high on Oxycontin when he said that.
Jilly: Good. More for me.
Who was Mister Rogers?
You shoulda arranged to meet Cyber and Rosa!
Mr. Rogers was a children's television show host that used to pet his gold fish.
Thank you Betty :o)
