White House lighthouse


Hatteras Lighthouse

It’s Holiday Decor day at the White House, in which First Lady Laura Bush leads a tour for the media.

The theme focuses on the national parks, and there’s a bit of North Carolina in there, including a giant Hatteras Lighthouse in the East Wing, Barb Barrett reports.

There's also a nice spread in the State Room—no word on how much of that food is Carolina-grown, but the White House will go through 700 pounds of crab and 1,000 pounds of shrimp this season.
