Working at the Pentagon and commuting every day through Washington, D.C. traffic is often frustrating and sometimes stressful, but every once in a while something really cool happens, and only because you work right across the river from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. This year tickets to the annual White House trick or treating event were given out to military families and school kids, and I was able to get on the list. It was a lot of waiting (to get in) and not much time on the grounds, and as far as I know we saw no one "famous" (then again everyone was in costume) but I could't pass up this once in a lifetime opportunity.
Michal aka Captain America, Emma aka Chef, and me aka a good witch (although in this picture I look like a pilgrim). Side note - never worn a cape before and it is awesome! I'll have to work that in to my wardrobe more often :-)
Very cool skeleton band
Blurry but best I could do!

Cool, I didn't know they did that down at the white house!
ReplyDeleteWow, Elisabeth, looks lake an amazing experience!
ReplyDeleteElisabeth, I live in DC's backyard and didn't realize they had this Halloween tradition! What a great life-long memory this will for the kids!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had alot of fun... I used to own a cape and loved it.. Need to find a new one but nice ones are terribly expensive! That skeleton band picture is awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures! That balloon pumpkin thing was pretty cool, too.
ReplyDeletethat is amazing! a story your kids will tell for years!!
ReplyDeleteThat will be a memory to cherish. How wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHalloween at the White House would be a once in a lifetime experience. Way cool that you and your kids got to go there.
ReplyDeleteI saw this on the news! Cool that you got to go with your kids. Great shots. Wow - how cool!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little family!!! How fun that you were able to attend this amazing event! The kids will remember it for a long time. Great photos, and I love the skeleton band!
ReplyDeleteSo very cool! The kids will remember this forever... the pictures are all great, but that skeleton band is just something else :)
ReplyDeleteOh how ultimately cool this would have been to see and participate in! So glad you and your kiddos got to go! Awesome shots. Capes are fun, aren't they?!! You could start a style trend. It would be much nicer than the too-short-shorts the girls wear or the 'hanging of the pants' around the bottom of the boys bums,...IMHO anyway. :-) Great post for this week's prompt!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun!!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing evening!!
