Easter Egg Roll

Today's the day!  We get to go to the White House Easter Egg Roll!!!  Since we were staying at a hotel within walking distance to the White House we set off about 8:30am as we had to be there at 9am.  Our group time was 9:45 to 11:45 and we had heard a rumor the Obamas would make an appearance. 

The line was incredibly long to get into the event.  Of course they were trying to get 3000 people and a new group of 3000 people in.  We couldn't complain because we were spending the morning on the south lawn of the White House. 

Em was a trooper waiting in line even though she was missing her nap.  We had brought over her stroller, but my cousin Kathryn met us on the way to put the stroller in her office.  The address of her employer is 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.  I think that's so cool!  She has actually run into the President while walking to a meeting through the White House!!!!

Gorgeous day for an egg roll!

I think the pictures tell most of the story.  It was definitely cool to see the Obama family and hear the President and First Lady talk at their own home. 

Overall the weekend was amazing.  I loved seeing my cousins and our friends and the White House and it definitely was the weekend I needed to help  get out of the funk I've been in.  We could not have asked for anything more.
