Former first lady Michelle Obama described returning to the White House last fall as a "beautiful experience" on Wednesday while speaking to Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show.
The former first lady's trip to the White House with former President Barack Obama was the first since the 44th president left office, and the pair got to see their portraits hung, she said.

It usually happens sooner, but former President Donald Trump never extended an invitation, according to Obama.
"It's a tradition," she said. "You do your official portraits, the next president is supposed to invite you back to hang them. We were never invited back, so these pictures have been done for a long, long time."
"It's also [a] chance for the staff to come back and reminisce and to be together. ... So, it was good to see everybody."
The White House is where her children were raised, according to Obama.
"To see all the people that they grew up with. ... It was good for Barack and I," she said.
Fallon asked if she ever had dreams that she still lives there.
"Oh no," Obama said emphatically. "Funny story, at Biden's inauguration, all the formers gathered, and they were doing a public service announcement, and then we had to leave. ... This is the first time Barack attended, I think he was there when somebody else's presidential motorcade was out."
The first car to pull up is usually for the president, so the former president walked up to it, she said.
"Security is like, 'Sir, um, that's not your car.' He's like 'Okay, where do I go?'" Obama recalled. "So, we had to pass the presidential motorcade, then the VP, we went way back, and then it was ours."

At the end of it all, the pair was happy to get in the back of the line and go to their own home, she said.
"That's the progress of democracy," according to Obama. "You do your time. You pass it on. You let the next president lead. So, it's kind of a relief."
