I have always wanted to go to a presidential library and the Jimmy Carter library is not far from our house in Atlanta. I always love when my friend Kristen comes to visit, because she like to do the same sort of things I do and I knew she would be the perfect one to share this experience with.
It was so interesting to learn about Jimmy Carter. In college I had a government class by a democrat who hated Jimmy Carter...so needless to say I haven't ever thought too much of him. I was pleasantly surprised when I did learn about him and think he seems like such a genuinely good person.
Military submarine McKay enjoyed trying to figure out.
The presidential libraries usually include a lot of the gifts that the presidents were given. There were some interesting ones.
Campaign buttons
Replica of the Oval Office
Ornate Ostrich egg.
This poster is so awesome!
This is about what McKay thought about the whole thing. He was a good sport, as usual.
Since leaving office Jimmy Carter and his wife have done so many wonderful things for people around the world. I think it would be so tempting to just live off the fame of having once been president, but again, I think he is a genuinely good person. I was impressed.
He has also won a Grammy. Again, impressive. I am so glad we got to see this and now I am putting more presidential libraries on our already extensive bucket list :)
