That part I do know. She has tickets for 2 adults and two kids. She plans on taking her daughter in law and the two girls and they'll take the train in.

Thanks for posting Stang!

I was so down and just forlorn since hearing about my dad. I had completely forgotten I had even entered the lottery for these tickets.

Today I opened my email and there it was...this email...from the website. I was almost afraid to even look. Then it said...we are excited to announce that you have been chosen..and I screamed! I went and grabbed Tony from another room and dragged him all the way to my computer and made him read the email with me...lol. Then I went and called Jamie and we all talked and decided how we would do this. I called Keyanas mom and made sure she could go...yes. Then we decided that it would be me and my daughter in law and we would take the girls.

I called my Dad and told him and he was just thrilled. What exciting news in a week that was really not so exciting!

 

[klmno]

I'm really exxcited for you! It sure would be nice if your dad could go, too!

 

[hearts and roses]

OMG. I am sooooooo excited for you!!! Woohoo!!

 

[ML]

I am so happy for you, Janet. This is excellent news.

 

[KTMom91]

I'm so excited for you!

 

[Wiped Out]

How great!

Janet, if you don't have a video camera or someone who can loan you a video camera........then I'd try to rent one. This is an extraordinary event and you won't want to miss a single moment!!!! I'm so happy for you guys!!! What an awesome memory to have for the girls and you to share!!!

For religious reasons growing up, I've never been to any sort of Easter festivities. This sounds like a really fun opportunity for the kids. Enjoy!

So, Janet, please explain what is involved for a non-Yank. I gather it's the US version of a garden party with the Queen in the grounds of Buck House? Sounds marvellous!

Irving Berlin said it best:

...In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it
You'll be the grandest lady in the Easter parade...
