White House Gardens Tour


Hey everyone- The above header picture was taken a little while ago while we were enjoying a tour of the White House gardens. These tours run a few times a year. One of our good friends works at the White House and was kind enough to accompany us and give us more of a detailed description of the landscape (like which trees were planted by which president and the history of Jackie O's rose garden etc.) It was a wonderful experience despite the intense heat and the fact that we had waited an awfully long time to ride the metro as there had been some emergency situations that held up the whole systen. Above is a shot of the oval office I snapped when we passed it. Anyhow, thanks to Peter & Barbara for making sure we got a great tour!
