Lolo's 70th Birthday

Can you believe my Lolo is 70 years old? I think he looks 56 :) To celebrate his birthday, the family got together and took him to the Ronald Reagan Library.






Unfortunately, there was no flash photography allowed in the library so a lot of these pics are kinda blurry! Here I am in the "Presidents Room" posing with my fellow mutt, President Barack Obama.


I had lots of fun with Uncle Carlo, although you can't really tell in this picture . . .



I felt MUCH better after I saw these pictures. Turns out Ronald Reagan had to wear a dress on his baptism too!!

The library is located otop a mountain in Simi Valley. There's a beautiful view of Ventura County from up there.

Here is the family as they get ready to board Air Force One.




Almost there. So exciting!




They wouldn't let us take pictures on the plane, but here's a pic they took of our family as we were about to board the plane.



Posing with Reagan's car . . .


. . . and his helicopter (Marine One)




Outside the library



An exact replica of the Oval Office as it was decorated during Reagan's term.



The family got excited over this dress because it was given to Nancy Reagan from Imelda Marcos. She also gave that chair. As you can see, I don't really know what the big deal is.




A piece of the Berlin Wall (West Germany side)


. . . and the same piece on the East Germany side. I guess they didn't allow graffiti!


Reagan's burial site



Taking in the awesome view. Well, the family is taking in the view. I think the grass is FASCINATING.

After the library, we took Lolo to eat at Cafe Firenze which is owned and operated by Top Chef contestant Fabio


Happy Birthday Lolo! Here is your present.


Dinner was delicious! At least that's what they tell me . . . I drank milk and it tasted the same as it always does.

Happy Birthday Lolo! Hope you had as much fun as I did :)
