2nd day in Washington D.C.


 Our second day in DC we went to the White House where Beth was meeting us to take us on our tour of the White House and her offices across from the White House.  Beth is one of four military personal assistants to the Vice President Biden.  Although I personally can't stand the man, her job is really cool.  The VP always has 1 military aide with him at all times - so she goes literally all over the world with him.  Beth was our neighbor when we lived in Jacksonville, FL.  She moved in a couple months after we moved into our new house and we became fast friends.  She is a P-3 pilot and single.  She is a year older then me, unmarried with no kids.  We spent a lot of time with her.  Some of my favorite memories is going to her house to watch Army Wives every Sunday night - and pizza nights!  She seriously makes the best pizza I've ever had.  I miss her! 

We weren't allowed to take photos in the White House at that time - so we don't have any of that.
These are photos right outside the back entrance of the White House:

  Then we headed over to tour the Capitol:
 






After we finished touring the Capitol it was time to say good-bye to Beth.  Thanks for the tours Beth!
