Crossed off a big bucket list item today: took the kids on a White House tour! Been wanting to do this for years. We didn't see the president, but the Secret Service confirmed he was there.

Pictures off my phone because they are STRICT about what you can bring in (nothing).

To get a White House tour, you need to contact your senator or representative (only ONE, or the White House will reject your request) ideally at least 3 months in advance. You submit all your info to the White House, then cross all your fingers and toes and hope for the best. The White House notifies you 2 weeks before whether you are accepted. Remember when we were kids and you just lined up for a tour? Simpler times.
