It is day two in our Nation's Capital, Washington, DC. It is such a beautiful city and for the most part, the people are helpful and friendly. The employees at the Embassy Suites were especially friendly and kind.
On my second day in Washington, my group went to a seminar. Once the seminar was over we went downstairs to the exhibit hall. This is where all the vendors of the childhood products were giving away items to sample. We gathered quite a lot of items to take home.
After we gathered free samples, we headed back to the hotel to drop of all we had collected. We had decided to walk a few blocks to see some of the sights. We found ourselves standing in front of the White House. Policemen had lined the streets and weren't letting anyone cross the street.
Just a few minutes later, as we were taking pictures, a motorcade come from a gate at the end of the sidewalk. We were so excited. "Was this the President?" I don't think we were meant to know. Whoever it was, it was still exciting to be there at that moment.
As the sun was going down and the lights were shinning on the White House, it felt surreal. "I'm actually standing in front of the White House." It was a wonderful feeling. I can't wait to see what else is in store for us while we are here.
