Obama's First Visit to the White House

Imagine what the Obama's must have felt like going to see where they will be living for the next 4 years. If they are anything like me, I would want to check out the bathrooms, closet space, find out about the neighbors.

What do you think the Obama's were talking about on their way to their new home...the White House? What were the Bush's talking about before they arrived?

The Obama's and Bush's looked wonderful!
