Moving In And Out
Are you surprised to hear that the First Family normally has to foot the bill when they move into the White House? They pick the moving company they want, although the movers do not get permission to enter the building itself. The residence staff gets clearance to enter the White House, so they are the ones who need to get the items inside after the moving truck is halted. This is also true when they have to move out.
No Imported Wine Here
We are not joking when we say that you can find just about anything on the food menu in the White House. However, there is something that you will never see there. We are talking about imported wines. The cooks have to ensure that the beverages and food they serve all come from the US! During the Ford administration, imported wine got taken off the White House menus. Since then, they have only ever served locally-made wines. Most of the stocked wine comes from Idaho, Virginia, and California.
