Well, not really, but that’s what a nice looking family thought when they walked onto Memorial Drive from the bike path along Jefferson Davis Highway and saw the Arlington House in Arlington National Cemetery.
The following is a conversation I overheard while walking to the 2009 Presidential Inauguration and it’s too good not to share, but hopefully is not indicative of our population’s general geographic understanding.
Family: “It’s the White House!”
Security Guard: “It’s not the White House.”
Family: “It’s the White House, up on the hill.”
Security Guard: “It’s not the White House. You’re still in Virginia.”
Unfortunately, the day was contrasty and hazy, and because it’s winter, there’s just so little color to make this photo pop.
