Presidential Impressions

Yesterday I visited the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum, and wanted to share some of my favorite things about it:

• I love the new Oval Office exhibit - sitting behind the President's desk was fun, and you can get your picture taken - it makes for a really neat souvenir
  
• I love seeing all the gifts of state that they received - I wish people would give me stuff like that
• I really enjoyed the video they had of the George and Barbara Bush laughing and being silly - it made them seem like real people
  
• I love the sculpture outside of all the wild horses jumping over the Berlin Wall
• I was particularly impressed by the love story between George and Barbara - from the time they first met to now. In the candid/fun videos (mentioned above) they were always touching or had their arms around each other - still in love after all that time
• I enjoyed the space exhibit - particularly the platform you could stand on and feel the vibrations as a shuttle took off
• and (nerd alert), I did love the Star Trek and Star Wars memorabilia on display as part of the exhibit that dealt with how the space program affected pop culture.
