Thanks Nic.  I hope I passed  LOL! 

BTW there's a black sedan w/o license plates parked in front of my house.  Tinted windows and 3 antenna's.  Do you think it's the Secret Service?

Nope not me. We are sharing a room so there will be ample time for me to stalk/molest him while he's asleep.

You will clearly want to use Metro from the hotel.  Orange line to either McPherson Square or Federal Triangle.  If you are starting in the White House Visitor Center, I would recommend Federal Triangle.  It is a short walk west from the stop to the Visitor Center and then further on to the White House.  I will not be able to join you since you are taking the tour on Friday.  It is well worth the effort!  Read the attached link so that you are clear about what you cannot bring (no cameras of any kind!)  There is no where to put them, so simply don't bring them.

Kinda wish I'd have signed up, that's 2 events that I'll have to miss and find something to entertain myself with.  Or someone!

 :( Yeah I wanted to go as well, but my hubby didn't want to, I didn't want to argue with him and leave him in the hotel room, it would have been a long flight back to ABQ if I did  ;D

Perhaps you could leave him in the room for about 20 minutes?.... ;D
