Day 7
This morning was great. We stayed in our PJ's till late morning. Gary went and got us some breakfast and we ate in the room this morning. The kids needed a break. Adam was able to take a nap in a bed! Becca even took a morning rest!,
OK..... forgive me if I gush... It was a big afternoon and I am still shaking! At 12:30 this afternoon we met all the Champions and their families in the lobby and walked to the white house.... that's right it's 2 blocks away from the hotel! We had a tour of the white house and a group picture taken in front of the white house. The Champions in front, the parents and families going up the stairs. President Obama came out and shook each one of the hands of the champions and sat near near Becca and took the picture with us. He asked the kids if they had any questions: one of the kids asked where Sasha and Malia were... answer Camp David w/Michelle they are on spring break. One child asked what he was going to do to make sure every child had health care, the answer was that he is working on it! He invited all the kids to play on the new playground! The visit was short, but sweet! While the kids were playing and I was taking pictures I turned around and Obama was right behind me! He wanted to see the kids playing! This was amazing! The day isn't over! We have a party at ESPN Zone tonight.
Side note: Mark Wells (country singer) and Miss America have been with us the whole trip!
More later!
