Nope. Never gone. I live close enough to go. But the only DC events with presidents that I've gone to are the Arlington Cemetery laying of the wreath for Veterans Day. That is a an excellent experience.
We get to Arlington .. go through security ... go up the hill to the ampetheatre ... hear the canons do their 21 gun salute when the president arrives at arlington ... watch the laying of the wreath ... sit in the ampetheatre and listen to the president give the speech. The first lady is also there. So are members of congress and high up military officers that you recognize. And there is usually a celebrity who is involved with charity who gives a speech as well. One time when we went it was Gary Sinese and the officers introducted him as Lieutenant Dan .. his Character on Forrest Gump. One time when we were there it was George W. Bush giving the speech. When the speech was over and everyone was leaving, I rushed up to where First Lady Laura Bush was sitting just before and I took her seating arrangement. She left it behind. It was a tag with her name on it with the seal fo the White House, and a US flag to wave and a few other little things. I figured they were a cool souvenier.
