Ultimate House Tour
In DC, the best house tour to score is the White House. And while the rules on getting to tour the White House are more complicated, they still do the occasional open tour. This weekend is the first of three summer garden tours at the White House. The other scheduled dates are July 21 and August 11. There will be two tours each day at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Everyone (even small children) must have a ticket. Tickets will be distributed (one per person) beginning at 8 a.m. at the Ellipse Visitors’ Pavilion until they are gone. In case of inclement weather, the tour will be canceled.

First, I’d like to point out the funny typo on the White House press release: “Visitors to the gardens will be see the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden,….” I R in ur garden!
Eh, I did the White House Garden Tour last year with my Mom and it was lame. You can walk around the circular drive and see trees the various President’s planted (whoo. pee.), but there were no roses (that we could see) growing in the rose garden.

I’ve been on the Candlelight Tour inside the White House at Christmas time and that’s definitely worth the wait in line, but I don’t think they’ve done that one recently.
