Private tour of the White House

We've all grown up idolizing landmarks that represented more than the actual structure itself. One of those landmarks to me is the White House; it's the epicenter of the world that we live in today.

Growing up I saw it as this untouchable place that I, frankly, wasn't worthy enough to be near, let along be in. In my head I wasn't a head of state, dignitary, or a big enough deal to warrant even thinking of visiting such an important place.

Needless to say, it was an honor and privilege getting an invite to have a private tour of the White House. Being in the White House is surreal, that's the best way I can put it. There is so much history that was made at the very spot I was standing. What made it more eerily unfathomable was that it was literally just me, Beth (my wife), and our guide roaming around unimpeded. The whole time I was roaming around I compared what I've seen on TV with what I was standing right in front of. At one point I was in the washroom next to the Oval Office looking in the mirror as I washed my hands thinking to myself....who would have ever thought that this kid born in Kuwait and grew up in a basement in Ashland, Ohio would be standing in one of the most iconic place in history. It goes to show that anything is possible...!
