Washington DC

It's hard finding a song about DC
This one's called "Welcome to DC"; by Mambo Sauce
It's a rap song played at every Wizards game.

We visited the White House and the Capital.

Had to get up at 5:30am while on vacation to be there for a 7:30 tour which didn't start till around 8:15.... stand outside in the cold.... fortunately no rain.

But it was worth it.

Had to be almost naked to get through security.

Not really....

but,

all you can bring is a wallet, keys, cell phone, umbrella (see the note above about being in line outside for over an hour).

No bags, purses, cameras etc.

Interesting since today all cell phones are cameras....

anyway, there are plenty of public domain pictures on the internet of what it looks like.

The blue room...

The red room....

The green room...

As I said though, it was worth the hassle....

The secret service guide was very personable and friendly.

If I ever go again it would be nice for it to be on a personal invite from the President!

(wouldn't have to stand in line so long)
