The White House finally gets to throw a party
CNN
On Monday the White House will become something it has yet to become while Joe and Jill Biden have been in residence: A party house.
At 6:45 a.m. ET, the first of what will ultimately be an anticipated 30,000 guests, who won tickets via a public lottery, will pour through the south gates and onto the lawn for the 142nd White House Easter Egg Roll.
"Joe and I look forward to welcoming thousands of families to join us for this year's White House Easter 'EGGucation' Roll!" the first lady tweeted Friday.

The US Marine Corps is no stranger to firing live ordnance as part training, but it had been years — more than 70, according to one US official — since Marines had fired artillery over a stretch of the I-5 interstate in California like they did last weekend during the Corps’ 250th birthday celebration.
