A few days ago the production staff at the theatre and I went on a tour of the White House. Our tour was scheduled for 10:30 am and we all met up around 10 am to get in line together. Of course it started snowing exactly at 9:50 and as we stood outside in line waiting to go through security the snow flakes started getting bigger and bigger and wetter and wetter. We stood huddled next to the fence talking and laughing to make the time go by quickly.
Finally we made it to the first checkpoint at which we were asked to show our ID and recite our birthday before walking to the next checkpoint where we were asked to show our ID and recite our birthday before we were finally escorted to the building with the metal detectors. Eventually we all got into the main lobby of the White House. Then we were asked to wait again as Michelle Obama was passing though the building. When she had traveled we were able to wander through the beautiful building and look at all of the amazing holiday decorations. The theme this year was reuse, recycle so all of the decorations were being repurposed from old decorations or were made out of recycled materials. Everything was just wonderful but my favorite was the peacock themed room.
Happy Holidays!
