Michael was in the White House’s Jacqueline Kennedy Garden that Mrs. Johnson created in 1965. He said that 30,000 people went to the Easter Egg Roll. Kelly has been there before. She brought a picture of her family at the Easter Egg Roll. She compared that to a picture of her family now to show how much they’ve grown. Michael was surprised to see them with a pickup truck, but it wasn’t hers. They were at a brunch and they posed in front of a friend’s  truck.

Michael drove to Washington, D.C. He thought it would take just as much time as flying with security and lines and everything. But he didn’t account for the Easter traffic. Kelly said she takes the train. She thinks it’s beautiful to pass through big cities and small towns. Michael thought he might see if a friend would drive his car back so he can take the train. He didn’t realize it would have to be a round trip when he decided to drive there.

There are five different eggs for 2014. They’re all different colors. They’re signed by the President and First Lady. There’s also a Bo and Sunny egg. Michael saw Bo when he got to the White House and he thought it was a statue because he wasn’t moving but it was really because Bo was doing his business. Kelly said that people tend to forget that he’s a real dog. “He puts his pants on four legs at a time like the rest of us,” she quipped.
