The White House!

Last night we had an amazing experience. Aaron, Marie's brother, works as a speech writer/researcher for President Bush. As part of the perks, he is able to give after-hour tours of the West Wing of the White House. We were hoping to go on a tour while Grandpa B is here, but it didn't look like it was going to happen until yesterday morning. Suddenly there was an opening, so we gathered Social Security numbers and our photo IDs and six of us (Brad, Valerie, Kate, Adam, Marie and Grandpa B) met Aaron outside of the White House at 7 PM last night. My photos will speak more details than my words. Suffice it to say that Aaron was a well-read, articulate host and made it a once-in-a-lifetime experience for all of us! (I wish I could figure out how to label the pictures. Help me out, somebody!)
