Every year, the First Lady chooses one artist from every state to paint an Easter egg for display at the White House. Well this year, Laura Bush chose my sister-in-law for the New York egg. Every artist gets to bring three people with them to go to Washington for the inaugural luncheon. So that's how I'm going! A truly unforgettable honor, I leave tomorrow to visit this great nation's capital for the first time.

Has anybody been to Washington before? Any tips on restaurants, sites, toursit trap warnings, anything?

NOOOOOOOOO WAAAAAAY! You are going to Washington? Even if you don't like Bush, it is an Honor to meet the Pres. Do you think you will see him? I'm so jealous![}:)]

I'm hoping I'll see the prez, philly! And I agree: no matter what your politics, it's a great thing to not only visit the capital but to just be in the same room as the First Lady if not The Prez. I'm very lucky. The whole thing was an unexpected surprise

I would never pass the backround check.[:(] But have fun, its really cool!

I hear she gets a little testy when you ask her about Stepford.

Well people, I'm back! My trip to D.C. was great and I look forward to going back one day.

The Easter Egg display was at the White House Visitor's Center across the street from the White House itself. The First Lady came in with a bunch of security hoo

But Mrs. Bush was elegant, dignified, very composed - everything you expect in a Frst Lady. And that Texan twang just sounded so sweet [:)] She's actually more petite in person than you expect.
