D.C. tour, part 1: White House & downtown

It was my first visit to The White House since we moved here. Heck, since I was a kid! Our Chicago friends were visiting us at the end of March, at just the start of D.C.'s coveted cherry blossom season. My girlfriend is obsessed with Obama, so naturally, the big white house was tops on her D.C. bucket list. Funny enough, her first reaction was, "It's soooo SMALL!" (It actually is, compared to other heads of state residences.) We had a good laugh and proceeded to take a lot of photos outtakes of us four before getting the money shot––with all four of us looking at the camera and almost smiles from the boys. This is no easy feat when you have two active toddlers who would rather not be in your arms. The first hint of cherry blossom buds were out, and though they weren't in full bloom yet, they were lovely anyway.
