White House... Here Come the Fines

Mathew was put in charge of distribution of tickets for the Coast Guard personnel in Hampton Roads for the White House Easter Egg Roll. The benefit of him taking this job was that we got to attend too. So, in the midst of trying to rent our house (which is DONE by the way!!), off we went to D.C. for 36 hours.

The pictures came out great, and I am thankful for that as I am not sure when we will get to step foot on the White House Lawn so close to the Oval Office ever again. It was an overwhelming experience.

Oh, and did we see the Big Man himself? Why yes, but only through the window to the Oval Office did we see him do that famous swagger away from his desk. AMAZING!

All dressed up and ready to go!

Almost to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue!

Nick, Daddy, and why not the Capitol Police?

We made it and waited in many lines to get in.

So while we were waiting for them to open the gates to the lawn, there was a stage and a DJ playing music for the kids. Nicholas wanted to go right up and dance. It was hysterical. Nate of course slept in the stroller through it all.

Nick busting a move.

Look at this 70's kid!

Ok, I'm up- Let's get those gates open!

So Julie let me borrow the cutest Jon Jon for Nate to wear, but I was worried it was way too cold. It warmed up nicely so Nate got changed on the White House lawn...

Hello ladies, who wants me?

Dressed and ready for his peeps.

Nick wanted to sit on every large decorative egg they had.

THIS IS A REAL PHOTO! IT IS NOT A FAKE!

Finally, here we are!

I think we would make a FINE FIRST FAMILY!

Nick is so proud of himself, and so am I-- he said cheese and posed without a fight all day long!

Nate apparently had enough of posing for photos!

Take one! Nate is so heavy he knocked Nick right over!

Take two.

The entertainment was Ziggy Marley. Pretty darn cool!

It was over so fast!

Rush hour on the metro.

We are still smiling after a very long and happy day!
