Well, moving on, I got to do something this week that was really spectacular. Mom, dad and I got to tour the west wing of the white house! My dad's friend's cousin is Brent McIntosh, whose official title is "Deputy Assistant to the President and Deputy Staff Secretary". I got the impression that his job is to take bills that congress passes to the president so that he can sign them, his U of M and Yale degrees don't really help him out with that but whatev, he works in the white house and therefore, we got to tour. Here's a brief rundown of what we saw:
The Oval Office - pretty much sweet, I had no idea we would get to see this on the tour so that was awesome.
The Roosevelt Room
The room where the cabinet meets (I dont know if this has a special name)
The rose garden
The press briefing room
Here are a bunch of pictures, there was also some sort of breast cancer awareness benefit going on and the white house was lit up with all pink lights and looked pretty cool. We weren't allowed to take pictures inside, except for in the press room, so all the pics are outside:

Are you giving a prize to anyone who can name the movie your quote is from? That's all I could think of when we were touring the place. Lines from that movie kept coming in to my head.
Plus, it was so surreal to think we were seeing the actual Oval Office that I couldn't help thinking "this must be the movie set they show the tourists."
That is really awesome!!!!!!!!! What a cool thing to be able to do, i mean actually getting to see the west wing including the Oval Office, I must admit I am very jealous.
