My
Uncle Duncan, Cousin Everett, and I went to the White House in Washington D.C.
I was very excited about going to the White House because I had never been
inside before and of course it’s where the President lives.
When we
were waiting in front of the White House, 2 police cars blocked the road and
the Vice President came down the road with lots of police cars. When the person
that we were suppose to meet came (he was very nice), he lead us to the
security. The security was no stronger than the airport. I think that’s fine. They
do not allow a single bag, not even a purse in the White House.
The
first story that we saw was full of pictures of Presidents that lived in the White
House. The pictures on the walls were of fun or important times of the
Presidents’ lives and under every picture it has an explanation about what is
happening in the picture. On the ground floor, there was also a library, the
China Room, and the Vermeil Room and of course some security. The first floor also had a couple of
sculptures of gun fights and Indians killing buffalos.
We went
up the stairs to the second floor to see the Green Room, the Blue Room, the Red
room, the State Dining Room, the East Room, the Cross Hall and the Entrance Hall.
The White House has lots of rooms but I only got to see 2 stories. My favorite
rooms on that story were the Red Room, the Blue Room, and the Green Room. Those
rooms were the only rooms on that floor that had lots of color and was not
white. My favorite parts of the White House were all the chandlers because they
were big and made out of little pieces of glass. The biggest room in the White
House was called the East Room. It had 4 fire places and 2 giant chandeliers
made out of 6000 mini pieces of glass.

It was
very cool to see the White House in person. The White house is very beautiful
but a bit too white but that’s kind of obvious. Anyways, I think that if you
get the chance you should go to the White House!!!
