Day 5 : White House

In the morning, we walked to the White House, the official home of the president of the United States. The White House is only 5 minutes walk from our hotel. There was already a long queue before the doors were opened. The security was very tight, x-rays, metal-detectors, etc. No photography allowed in the White House. Most of the area inside was restricted. The area allowed for visitors was very small. We saw some of the famous rooms just outside the doors.

Here's a photo of me in front of the White House.

The next stop was the United States Capitol. The United States Capitol is the capitol building that serves as the seat of government for the United States Congress, the legislative branch of the U.S. federal government.

We actually walked there all the way from our hotel. Although it was not snowing and was quite sunny, the temperature was near zero degrees. Look at my hubby wearing his ski mask.

This photo shows the interior of the Capitol building. That's me(on the right) reading from my travel guide book.

We still have not got over our jet lag. At around 5pm, we felt very sleepy, went back to the hotel to sleep. We woke up at around 9pm, ordered pizza for dinner, watched TV, then went back to sleep again.
