I have heard it is not an easy road to get to the White House, but I always thought that meant to be elected president.\u00a0 On Saturday, it was a difficult trip for us just to get to the White House for our tour.<\/p>\n

Since White House tours are not easy to come by, we could not let a little thing like 6 inches of snow stop us.\u00a0 Over 70 au pairs from two clusters braved the snow and had their chance to catch a glimpse of some of the famous rooms inside the White House.\u00a0 And I caught a glimpse of the president’s car leaving for the Georgetown basketball game.<\/p>\n

Here are some photos of that day.<\/p>\n
