Jack is pretending to be the President!
So....the White House Grounds are open to the public 4 days out of the year, and thanks to Shay, we found out it was today. You have to go early though and get tickets (free). So we got up bright and early this morning and went with the Hamiltons.
Here is the White House up close and personal. We have loved visiting with Shay and are excited about her mission call to Lima, Peru!
Yes...This is Barrack Obama! He was on his way to work (in the oval office). We watched him walk from the white house to the west wing. (Not a very long commute). He stopped a couple of times to wave, but this is the best picture we got. It was pretty cool to see him on his own turf. Literally!
Here is the lot of us. (Minus Shay, she took the picture). We were so grateful to the Hamiltons for driving us in and then sharing this awesome adventure. Such an awesome, beautiful family! Thanks guys!
I have always wanted a picture in front of the White House with out having to look through the big black bars. I always felt like I was looking out of a jail cell. So now...we finally have a barless White House picture! Hooray!
Dear Tony, Brittany and Jack,
ReplyDeleteHey, that's great - getting to be on the White House perimeter. Although I think Pres. Obama is a very bad president, he is, after all, the president (I hope for not longer). Unfortunately, you, Jack, and others too numerous to mention, will never know the America I knew as a child and young person. Jack will be saddled with National debt for the rest of his life.
The photos are VERY good. Jack and his little friend make a very cute twosome. I love you, Grandma Lewis
WOW! You might have gotten the only picture between now and November 2nd of President in the White House. From what I hear he has taken up his new residence in Ohio, Florida, Nevada etc. :)
