The United States Marine Band was playing on the grounds during our visit.
The White House Kitchen Garden...they even have their own beehive!
After lunch we visited the Smithsonian Institute. I saw so many wonderful things, but my favorite had to be the First Lady gown exhibit at the American History Museum, where I saw state dinner and other formal gowns that Jackie Kennedy, Dolly Madison, and other president wives wore! I was also thrilled to see a few Bette Davis costumes and Dorothy's ruby red slippers from the Wizard of Oz.
This is the dome in the National Gallery of Art....favorites I saw here included a Picasso, Matisse, and a portrait of Marie Antoinette by Elizabeth Vigee-Lebrun.
