It's not every day you get an email from the White House We've been hoping to get on a White House tour when we visit in October, and yesterday I "reached out" to my cousin's (he lives in Connecticut) congresswoman, and also his senator. Today I have had a very nice email from the Senator's office who had sent my request through and at almost the same time, I got one from the White House Visitor Centre asking me to register our details. We won't find out if we have been successful until a couple of weeks before we go, but it is worth a go and fingers crossed!
