On the Wednesday before Thanksgiving we headed to D.C. (yes, on the busiest travel day of the year) for a tour of the White House. My in laws went to high school with the father of a man who works in the situation room of the White House and he arranged for a private tour. It was awesome! We had a wonderful time and were just amazed that we were there--walking where our past presidents had walked and standing at the door of the Oval Office. My mom-in-law and I even used the bathroom...not the same one the President uses...but, quite possibly the same one as Condoleezza Rice! It will definitely be a time I will never forget. Ella on the otherhand...just see the pictures!
Before the White House...at the Merry Go Round at a D.C. area mall. We love the new outfit from Mimi and Papa.
Enjoying time with Mimi.
We were early to the White House so we stopped to have some coffee and there was a great fireplace for the backdrop for some pictures.
Daddy, Mommy and Ella
In the Press Room, which is the only place inside we could take pictures.
The family outside under the seal. You can see what Ella thought about the experience. She fell asleep about halfway through the tour on Daddy's shoulder. The tour started at 8pm and her bedtime is typically 7pm, so she was tuckered out!
We wanted a picture of the three of us for our Christmas card, but this one will not be making the cut!
