Billy got tickets to go to the White House Garden Tour last Sunday. Good thing he works at a government office because otherwise we would not know about all these cool things going on! It was really great...we got to go right up and personal with the White House! Probably as close as we will ever get to going inside. Warning: we took a lot of pictures!!
First view of the White House close up. We were very excited! They also had these signs everywhere that told us what president planted what tree and when...apparently every president has planted a tree in front of the White House! Coolio!
Beautiful tulips
Beautiful view...too bad the Washington Monument has scaffolding on it. Scaffolding loves us (remember our wedding?)

Pretty sitting area

The white house putting green
The white house jungle gym
The white house with one of the white house birds (in the bottom right hand corner). Billy wanted me to include that I said this: "If I were a bird, I would want to be a white house bird". They've got it made there! We have been using this joke a lot now. "If I were a duck, I'd want to be a reflecting pool duck"- Billy.
White house band
Billy took a picture of one of the security guys. He said "I saw that" very grumpily to us. Haha
White house vegetable garden. Good job Michelle!
White house basketball court
Walking back to Union Station, had to stop for this awesome view
Cool angle of the Capitol
Oh ya and we took this super cute pic on my phone by the white house...I love it!
Super fun day!
That's awesome. Love all the pictures and narrative :)
ReplyDeleteThat secret service guy feels like a member of the family now. So lucky you got so up close! I didn't know the white house had a jungle gym and a basketball court!
