But when a slice of watermelon catches his eye, everything changes in an instant.

Together, this unlikely pair embarks on an adventure through:

The Lincoln Memorial and its 87 stepsThe solemn Vietnam Veterans Memorial WallThe majestic White HouseThe powerful National ArchivesThe grand U.S. Capitol Building
