I recently had the opportunity to attend not one, but two White House events. Both events were held at the Executive Office Building, which is on the White House grounds. I've been on a tour of the Executive Office Building and the West Wing of the White House, thanks to a family friend that was working there. But had never been to the Executive Office Building for anything official.
Moments like this remind me of why I moved to DC in the first place. This sort of opportunity doesn't come up all that often. On our walk there, we saw Chuck Todd- NBC's White House Correspondent! (DC star sightings aren't like they may be in NYC or LA.)
The bigger of the two events feature the First Lady. She gave her first big speech on health care reform, which got a lot of press. It was a fabulous speech on women in health reform.

Anyway, in typical DC fashion, we saw some interesting sights on the walk there and back. Protesters....
That is a great experience!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm with you on "star" sightings in DC. I recently saw John Kerry. That was a big deal. And anytime I see any three or four-star generals I get goose bumps, too. People down in South Carolina just don't understand....
