One of our favorite traditions is going to the National Christmas concert and then to see the National Christmas tree. We met up with lots of friends at the concert; the music was great and then we walked over to the White House to see the tree. When we tried to walk onto the White House lawn we were turned away by a bunch of security; we have never had this happen before. The police were not very nice and they would not give us any reason why everything was barricaded off. We waited around for awhile talking with our friends and then we start to hear the helicopters. The three presidential helicopters flew right over us and we finally understood why the front lawn was closed. Once the Presidents Helicopter left, they opened the lawns and we were able to go by the tree. It turned out to be kind of a cool experience.
