The twins and I arrive a few minutes early for the tour so we snap a couple pictures in front of the Washington Monument. Oh, and then, we put the twins' shoes on so they're presentable at The White House.
My mom and her sister join us for the tour at The White House.
One of the interior entrances to The White House - notice the seal on the awning. This is a fairly well-known, recognized location where Presidential briefings are often held.
This view encompasses the residential quarters of The White House. What was extraordinary about this view from the exterior was hearing from our tour "guide" which rooms/windows represented the President's personal office, living/dining room, bedrooms, kitchen, etc. At the time of our tour, as we stood looking at the various windows/rooms of the residential quarters, our "guide" told us that the "President and his family are probably having dinner right about now..." And, as I looked at the windows, I could almost envision the President sitting alongside his daughters and wife over dinner. Very cool!
