Okay. I chuckled, but back to the post -- which is a great one!<BR><BR>I love the Truman Library in Independence, Missouri, which is a suburb of Kansas City. <BR><BR>Are you planning a trip around this theme? Great idea...

So many minds in the gutter! :) I like the George Bush presidential library in College Station, TX; it currently has an exhibit about father and son Presidents - so it's showcasing the Georges and the John Adamses. <BR><BR>It's easy to get to; fly in Houston's Intercontinental Airport, rent a car, and then it's about 90 miles away. You can also fly Continental directly into CS, but you'll need to change planes in Houston. <BR><BR>The LBJ library in Austin is good too.

I love Presidential Libraries and have visited many.<BR><BR>I don't think there is one best, but here are some of my picks.<BR><BR>Kennedy -- a great setting and a complete library.<BR>Truman -- a must see when in the general Kansas City vicinity.<BR>Reagan -- likewise a very nice setting and very good exhibits. <BR>Nixon -- Even handled the Watergate mess with dignity.<BR><BR>Ones that I would skip<BR>LBJ -- seemed incomplete to me. <BR>Carter -- more of a center for studies than a library. Not that much on the man at all.<BR>Ford -- needs more work to be comparable to the others.<BR><BR>If you want to hit more than one library you can go to Los Angeles and go to both the Nixon and Reagan.<BR><BR>
