Monuments: The White House

Since our personal invitation to visit the White House must have been lost in the mail, we signed up for a tour a few months ago.

Public tours of the White House are self-guided and pass through many of the oldest rooms on the main and lower levels.  The upper level, the President's residence, is not included in the tour, which is probably a good thing. 

The illustration below shows the path of our tour.

The East Room:

Thanks for visiting the White House with us.

P.S. While we touring the White House, we noticed a miniature soccer field on the South Lawn.  We guessed it was installed for young Baron Trump.
