President's Park

The most prestigious residence in America, as seen from the front lawn (inside the fence.) I was lucky enough to get a private tour, and got to see the gardens, the kitchens, and the press room (which is TINY.) The building is full of fascinating people and artifacts, and a place everyone should try to see in their lifetime.

Just don't run barefoot on the lawn. The snipers don't like it.

And YES I did actually see Obama that day!

The White House, Washington DC November 2013

The front of The White House with the ubiquitous Washington Monument making a guest appearance.

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is probably one of the most famous addresses in American history.

Since John Adams in 1800, The White House has been the official residence of every United States President.

Despite being constructed out of sandstone painted white, the structure took significant fire damage just 14 years after its completion.

The White House has expanded to include the East and West Wing as well as taking over the neighboring Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
