Visiting the Nixon Library

Judy and I enjoy visiting presidential libraries as we travel. While we were in Southern California we visited the Nixon and the Reagan Library. Some have said presidential libraries satisfy and favor the President they document or commemorate. Yea, could be true, but they all give a visitor the chance to get a different perspective and fill in voids we may have about the president (museum) we visit.
