White House

We left the hotel this morning after a quick breakfast and headed towards the White House for our 8:30 tour.  After a slight misdirection with the gps, we arrived at the parking garage before it opened and ended up parking on a side street. We made a mad dash to the white house and then to the tour check in.  I was surprised by the amount of people in line but it moved quickly. We gave two secret service agents our names and ids before the metal detector and screening. I'm happy to report we only brought permitted items and everyone passed. The tour itself as self-guided and took us through 7 or 8 rooms. More to come on that....... as soon as we were past the white house columns, we were able to take pictures.  We then went to a gift shop and then made our way back to the van to head to the zoo.
