last Oct. we were able to take the famed White House and the Capital Building tours. and i truly have to say the WH tour was a downer. i saw more during a WH documentary! considering only 10% of ticket requests get accepted and then then HASSLE of getting into the WH. you’d think the tour would showcase more rooms, etc.
the Capital tour was GREAT! we were taken ALL over the building/buildings.
