Today we were in Washington DC for the weekend and in deciding where to go first we decided to ventured over to the White House to see the Obama's.
As we approached the North Lawn there was a tour of china tourists speaking mandarin and saying "over there is the White House". A passing American said to his friend: "What they just said is that by next year we will own that". I thought that was an interesting observation from this unidentified american person.
We wandered around to the South Lawn which is where most press photos are shot and did our obligatory photos. We were spotting the Secret Security police hiding on the rooftop and in the garden, it became a game to see who could spot the missing one. Then without warning we were all asked to move out of this area. A sure sign that the Obama's were coming and heard that the Gee's were in town. From our vantage point on the other side of the road with five (5) fences inbetween us....I could spot Barrack, Michelle, the girls and Bo ! All playing on the lawn, as I told Anna others heard me and of course were disbelieving. We then watched the private moment of Barrack hosing Bo down with a hose and then the girls running around the lawn with him. (See in the distance behind 5 fences - can you see them?)
Later we went over to the Lincoln Memorial, as we are aware Abe is Obama's role model and I've grown to respect Abe Lincoln for his humility and for his leadership. (In the p
hoto you will see Anna checking my wallet after walking past FDIC)
