First off, I have to tell you that the staff did such an incredible job fixing up the garage. We had a magical time (and encouraged H's husband to please keep the room up and keep using it - a real treasure.) The transformation from Monday to Thursday was unbelievable. So, our thanks for making such a memorable evening for our group. We had a ball.Second, thank Jameel for the most delicious meal. We were absolutely wowed! From start to finish no detail was left out. Please thank him and the kitchen staff.

OMG! This museum was the highlight of our visit. We came for the Cherry Blossom festival but made a point to visit museums and so very glad this one was on the list. It was the first stop of the weekend and nothing else compared. I have an 11 year old son and for him it became a competition of who could find the most secret doors. I think we ultimately tied but he was happy to tell other visitors when he was ahead. An additional highlight was meeting and chatting with HH. Talked to Ted as well but didn't realize it was him. He told me a funny story about one of the secret doors I asked him about and then shared a YouTube video with us to go with the story. They are so down to earth and it added to the experience. I also appreciate HH signing a couple books to me and the message she wrote.The staff we interacted with were great also. Great sense of humor and willing to provide a nugget or two of information about the mansion but they didn't give anything away.It is a must visit and will be on my list for every trip to Washington.

What an awesome experience! We can't wait to return.
