Greets and saluts from the seat of government. DC is a heck of a town, and you’ll never know what you’ll see next. For me, it was walking down near the Tidal Basin and then watching as the choppers headed in to the WH to pick up the President. Then watched as the helicopter settled in on the Lawn and awaited the President for his trip to Andrews and then to Israel.

Got to see Marine One fly off directly overhead. I’ve seen Presidential motorcades and what goes into getting the President to his destinations - and it never gets old. Doesn’t matter which President either. They’re doing their job, and in this case, it’s going to visit a close ally in Israel and talking shop with PM Netenyahu. I don’t think there’s going to be any major policy breakthroughs or peace deals, but the appearance of the President in Israel is itself a strong message.
