Special Guests of the President....of the United States!!

I know you're all doubting after reading the title to this post, but it's TRUE! Me and 3 friends were special guests of the President of the United States of AMERICA at the Kennedy Center last week! We saw the National Symphony Orchestra with the Army Jazz Ambassadors from George W. Bush's Presidential Box. It was so much fun! I hadn't made it over to the Kennedy Center yet since I've lived out here, but I always look at it as I drive across Memorial bridge. It's so beautiful sitting along the water front on the edge of Georgetown.
Shout out to John F. K....This is Mike and Callie getting stoked for the concert. Mike is the one that invited us. He works at the White House and was lucky enough to get tickets for the
Friday show :)
Hall of Nations
Us in our dresses in the President's suite. Notice the official seal on the wall. The tickets came with a special invitation from the President and it had a code to the refrigerator in the suite that was packed with all sorts of treats and drinks all in cute boxes that said The White House on them and had George W's signature. I proudly snacked on the presidential m&m's but declined to partake of the White House champagne.

The suite had tons of pictures of the President at the Kennedy Center with other celebrities like Steve Martin, I think...and others. There were 12 seats in the box. They were absolutely the best in the house. Tony Fratto and his family were there too....(if you don't know who that is, I didn't either and Callie had to tell me...) he is deputy spokesman for the White House...kind of an important guy apparently. And he was really nice too...so, bonus.The concert was so fantastic!! I love Jazz music! My favorite songs they played were The Duke and then the finale which was Sing Sing Sing....I love that song! It really was such a neat experience! Well worth skipping a day of studying for finals....thanks Mike!
