West Wing Tour

I recently helped a neighbor with some statistical software programming for a class of his. In return, he offered to take my family on a tour of the West Wing, where he happened to work. Um, YES. At the time, I didn't realize that, "the only way to experience a West Wing Tour is by invitation from the White House or through a personal connection to a White House staffer willing to lead you on an after-hours tour." But once I learned that, um, DOUBLE YES. I just had to ignore the fact that it was Trump's office.

We had a bit of a traffic problem, so didn't get there early enough to see something else, but instead we got there too early to just go straight to the White House. Plus, it was kind of rainy and really cold. So we played with funny pictures of the Washington Monument.




Once we were allowed in, we got to see the Navy Mess (where they eat), the Rose Garden, the Cabinet Room, the Oval Office, the Roosevelt Room, and the Press Briefing Room. We couldn't take pictures inside, so if you want to see some, look here. We did get some from the outside.

After the White House, we briefly toured the Executive Office Building, which houses the office of the Vice President.

Now I'm thinking we should do a regular White House tour, but contacting my senators seems like a lot of work, so...probably won't.
