We then went to tour the White House. We waited in 6 separate lines, but I think by the time we came out everyone thought it was worth the wait. In the midst of our visit the first family came out on the lawn below and got into the helicopter Marine One. Some were sure they glimpsed the President and First Lady although it was pretty hard to see through the trees. It was fun to see the different rooms and read about all the events that have taken place there. Katie's family joined us for the tour.
We had a bit of time to split into groups again and catch one more Smithsonian museum, whatever you missed yesterday like the museum of the American Indian, or the Botanical Gardens, then we met up at the Holocaust Museum for a sobering visit.
On the way back to the hotel we made one more stop - the Jefferson Memorial - then were back in time for dinner and some swimming in the hotel pool before turning in.
Here are some digital images from Day Seven:
