Yesterday we spent a wonderful Sunday afternoon in DC taking Simone back for her second tour of the White House--her first was when she was just 14 months old. I'm not sure she was all that impressed then or now, but the grown ups had a great time. We first spent some time at the White House Garden Tour where we walked the South Lawn, saw the first daughters' play set, and had a view of the first family's vegetable garden and the Rose Garden.

| Simone in front of the Obama play set. She could not fathom why she wasn't allowed to play on a perfectly empty play set. I think that's where she totally lost interest in all things presidential --LOL! |

| I can only dream that one day Simone will actually look AT the camera when we take a photo in front of the Rose Garden. |
After lunch we had a special tour of the interior of the White House. Only limited pictures were permitted, but here are a few.
