Our Day In Washington, D.C + #WhiteHouseTour

Did you know that you can contact your local congressman and request complimentary tickets for the White House tour?! It takes about 2-3 months to get the tickets so book way in advance. We had tickets for this past Saturday at 7:30 am. We arrived in Washington, D.C Friday night and stayed just two blocks from the White House at the Hyatt Place Hotel. Highly recommend this hotel as it is so convenient to the White House. They offer complimentary breakfast also which is a nice perk. And best of all their hotel rooms sleep families of 6 with 2 queen beds and a sleeper sofa. The Hyatt Place Hotel also offers valet parking for an additional fee.

The White House tour is a self guided tour that allows guests to freely roam the downstairs level of the White House in addition to the second floor. Guests are not allowed to go inside of the actual rooms as they are all roped off. However, you can see the infamous Green Room, Red Room, East Room and China Room. My children really enjoyed being able to go inside of the White House.
