Today, President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama kicked off the
resumption of East Wing and Executive Residence tours by surprising
White House tour guests in the Blue Room.
Followers of the First Lady's
Twitter and
Instagram accounts were given the first heads up that something special was about to happen:
The President and First Lady welcomed guests with handshakes and
hugs. Bo and Sunny made an appearance and guests of all ages
affectionately patted and pet the pups.
