The trip provided us an opportunity us to see our first presidential library...and to have some adult time together (when Michele was not in meetings and sessions).
The Bill Clinton presidential library opened in 2004. We hope to visit all of the libraries.
We arrived at the library early before it opened...

...we noticed...
...quite strangely enough...
...there was an industrial-sized document shredder truck out in front...
...not something you'd expect to see at a presidential archive library...

A model of the White House is currently on display at the Clinton Library...
The library lacks mention any of recent republican presidents...
...but the library staff must have missed the teeny tiny photos on the miniature table...

An underpass right by the library...
...could this be Bill's running shoe--supposedly on display in Little Rock?
