White House Easter Egg Roll

We went to the White House Easter Egg roll this year. Part of the fun is actually camping out to get the tickets. Shawn, Alex and I camped out this year with my brother and nieces and a bunch of their friends from church, and thanks to my brother going early we were near the front of the line. It was really cold, but my brother brought a tent and so everyone slept in that. Except me, I slept on two chairs in my sleeping bag. I really enjoyed the sounds of the city, and the whole experience was somewhat surreal. Sleeping outside the White House in downtown D.C.! I could see the Washington Monument and hear all the sounds of the city. I really enjoyed it. My mother in law joined the kid's and I for the Egg Roll. It was extra crowded this year because The Jonas Brothers were there. It was also a beautiful day, so a lot of people showed up. We had a good time. One thing I thought was neat, but it was lost on my kids, is that they had various Cabinet members reading stories to the kids. To see a man who sits in the Oval office and makes very important decisions being very animated while reading to the kids was pretty cool. They didn't have a clue who he was, and he had to work just as hard to keep their attention as everyone else! It was a really neat experience.
