If you're going to tour the White House (and who comes all the way to Washington and skips it?), you'll need to arrange a tour through your Congressman's office. The catch here is that you have to be a group of 10 or more. So, you'll need to submit names, dates of birth, and SSNs for 10 people in "your group." If those people get "sick" at the last minute and can't show up for the tour, that's their tough luck, but you'll still get to go. Wink wink.

Oh, and if you take a tour of the White House, be prepared to show up with nothing on you. No cameras, no purses. Cell phones are okay, provided they don't have a built in camera.

Also, be prepared for unannounced cancellations of tours. It's just a fact of life here.
