Camping on the Ellipse

In an effort to participate in the annual White House Easter Egg Roll, a group of us camped out on the Ellipse of the White House to get the highly-coveted tickets. With our fearless leader Matt - Dave C., Dave Y., Kerri, Steve, & I gathered on the Ellipse of the White House with about 1500 equally crazed individuals on a Friday night. We set up the tent, the lawn chairs, and waited to see if we would be one of the lucky ones to get tickets.



Matt & Steve share a moment on the double chair.



Kerri is all smiles - only 9 more hours until we have tickets.



Tent city, with one heck of view.



Around 5:00 AM we got our "vouchers" - which meant we were guaranteed tickets, in about 3 1/2 hours.




Hanging out on our front porch.
