West Wing Tour, Washington D.C., USA
When I last went to Washington D.C. I was fortunate to be taken on a tour of the offices of the West Wing, White House lawns and press rooms.
The tour takes you past all the key offices and boardrooms, including the Roosevelt Boardroom and the Oval Office. You can’t get inside these rooms but the doors are open so that you can see inside. There are secret service men posted throughout the building - one of them even showed me where the President keeps his nibbles and sweet, in a cupboard just outside the Oval Office!
Unfortunately you can’t take pictures on the inside the West Wing, which is understandable, but you can outside. Here’s one of the President’s residence in the White House from the South lawns. If I’d strayed from the path I am told I would have been quickly tackled by secret service! Needless to say I didn’t test that out.
The only place I could take pictures of was the White House Press Room. Which is full of video cameras and each seat is specified to a member of the press.
