I have officially seen the entire White House!

(Well, the parts that the public is allowed to see).

I can't believe how incredible it is. I toured the West Wing last fall, and it was the experience of a life time - but I never thought I'd get a tour of the East Wing, too. My entire class toured every room in the East Wing with my Aunt guiding us along the way. She has been in the Air Force for over 15 years and works in the White House Military Office. She has the job of a life time...not that I know what she actually does, though.

It's unfortunate that pictures are forbidden inside the White House, because the gorgeousness cannot possibly be described! The color coordination of each room and specific furniture and art is chosen by each president through a catalog of archived furniture. I also learned that the East Wing is the First Lady's wing!

The pictures that I was able to see are just priceless. The pictures of the Kennedy's and all of the past Presidents hanging on the walls - it's really something. The tour is so quick though! There were about 10 rooms to see, and then it was done! We were able to take some pictures outside, though - so here they are!
