the West Wing

We had a really cool tour tonight of the West Wing of the White House. We couldn't take pictures of the Oval Office or go inside it - just stand at the door and look in. It's not as big as it looks on TV. We couldn't go out in the Rose Garden right at first because "people were out there." We were standing in a hall, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff came through and said hello to us as he walked by. Then the National Security Adviser, Stephen Hadley, came through and walked past us while I was helping Summer walk around the room. She was giggling and all, and Hadley watched her as he walked past, and commented something like "Oh, she's walking!" Then we went out to the Rose Garden and took a couple of pictures. It was very cool. I'll email them out with the next batch that I send.

Aunt Debbie has been here since Monday morning, and she leaves tomorrow morning to go up to Kari's. It's been fun to have her here. Summer and I took her on a very fast tour of DC - we've done quite a bit over the last 3 days.
