Liz made arrangements to get tickets to the White House for the 10:30 tour. We were given a list of do's and don'ts. We were to be there about 30 minutes early with nothing but our ID and a cell phone that was turned off. No cameras, purses backpacks' NOTHING!!!! Because there was no place to leave our belongings, Liz insisted that Tanner and I go in while she held the backpacks. It is a self guided tour so they allowed us to go in early. We had barely gotten inside when two Secret Service Agents walked by with none other than the First Dog, Bo. Tanner was so thrilled!!!!!!! During the tour, we overheard the security guards talking about something going on but we didn't think too much about it until we got outside . There we were met with barracades' police cars, and a multitude of other agencies. We were to meet Liz in the park across from the White House but it had been evacuted. Luckily we had cell phones and met in the gift shop up the street. While there we found out that a suspicious package had been left at the Embassy across the street from the White House. Later that morning, Liz received a call from the congressman's office saying they were sorry our tour had been cancelled and that it had been rescheduled for the next morning at 7:30 a.m.
