Our Visit to The White House.

Last weekend we packed the car and headed to Washington D.C for the annual 136 Easter Egg Roll. We invited our friends Stephanie and Nisian, and their two kids, to join us in the festivities which included: Easter Sunday fun, Visiting the National Monuments, VIP treatment on the South Lawn of the White House, and most importantly not cooking and cleaning for two entire days! Woot Woot!!! Here are some of the highlights!

         Easter Morning we ordered room service then made our way to the Easter Buffet downstairs...don't judge.
The Easter Bunny paid us a visit...

...and Someone DID NOT like him. 
Easter Egg Hunt at the hotel.
Sightseeing with the gang. We took a pit-stop at the WW2 memorial. 

Ok...so my idea was to get up at 6 am and run around the Mall and take pictures of all the sights...this is all I got then my camera died. 

So the next morning I made sure it was fully charged. I was surprised how emotional it was to be there...in the calm of the morning... knowing such significant and historic moments had occurred all around me. 

This guy told me to tell you "Hi".  Honestly he did...
The Vietnam Memorial...This one's for you DAD!
1600 Pennsylvania Ave...The bosses house...and every boss that came before... except Washington.

With one VIP ticket and 7 'regular tickets' we were somehow were able to turn this one VIP ticket into 7 VIP tickets. Still not sure how we managed this,  but boy I am thankful since the wait in the 'regular' line was two hours long!

Family Photo on the South Lawn. There was an orchestra playing behind us which made the whole thing seem that much more stately. 
Ok,  so I didn't get to meet (or see) the president but we did see the First Dogs (Sunny and Bo) do their 'business'.

These Two. 
What it was all about...The Easter Egg Roll!
