Mike and I toured the White House this morning and as Kiley Murphy said, it was kind of a let down. The parts they let us see are very beautiful, but we did not get to see the famous spots. Like the Lincoln Bedroom and the Oval Office, I would have liked to see the dining room also. We saw theGreen Room,the Red Room, the Blue Room and some hall ways, A reception room looked like it could be a ball room. There were paintings of all the Presidents and some of the first Ladies....yes Hilary is there.Security was amazing, secret service people in every room. I cannot imagine what the White House pays for all these guys standing around. It is sad it has to be that way. That is actually one of the things I am noticing around here almost every place has security people of some kind or another just hanging around, what a boring job, and you would not want it to get exciting. The clerks in the stores I've been in are bored to death too.
The humidity is 90% today, feels very muggy, I wonder if it lessens as it gets hotter or get worse? I am already having to do laundry as we sweat so much when we are moving about. The air conditioning is good in our room tho, so that is good.
