This is me with our dear friend Rose. Thanks to Gregg's cousin Fayette - thanks Fayette - who diligently worked with her North Dakota Senator's office to get us tickets on one of the White House tours today, Rose, Gregg and I were standing in line at the gate at 9.15 a.m. It was a bit rainy but we weren't outside for long and it was a great tour. Later when things are a little quieter I will share more photos as well as a few of the fun highlights, especially of Rose hugging some of the Secret Service guys and with them very genuinely and only too happy to hug her back. There was much laughter between them and I was so impressed with their friendliness. They were great, great guys and at the same time were clearly doing their job with skill and expertise. What a hoot to see Rose having so much fun. She will be going home and telling her family and friends how wonderful everyone was at The White House. They certainly did us proud.

It does sound like you're having fun!
I remember taking a white house tour several years ago. Yours sounds much more interesting! Can't wait to hear more about it.
That's impressive, scoring a White House tour AND hugs from the Secret Service guys!
enjoy...

PS I love your brolly.
awesome photo....i love the umbrella!!
Can't wait to see your upcoming photos.
P.S. That's a great picture of you, Denise!
When we visited Congress, our Senator treated us to lunch there! Worth a try, Denise. Hope your senator does something similar for you.
What a wonderful visit! Never been to DC, maybe one of these days.
How neat, Denise that you you could take your friend Rose on that visit. I'm sure she is having a GREAT time...
Hugs,
Betsy
Lovely to hear about your trip.
Enjoy your day.
That's very special! I've always thought a tour of the White House would be something amazing to do. Can't wait to see your photos!
A wonderful experience, never heard of anyone hugging security. I am sure you made their day good as well.
and is that a real map inside the umbrella.
How convinient. You have to just look up at the places you want to go :-)
Sounds like you had a wonderful White House visit. I got to tour the WH in 1991 and was happy to have had the opportunity.
Loved all of the photos.
