Easter Egg Hunts in Northern Virginia

MOMMBY originally wrote this article for Yahoo. We thank Yahoo for publishing this content! Please refer to Easter Egg Hunts in Northern Virginia as published on Yahoo.

The First Family will host the 134th annual White House Easter Egg Roll on April 9, 2012 for 35,000 people. If you missed the ticket lottery this year, mark your calendars for next year! My family feels very fortunate to be selected to attend the 2012 Egg Roll. There are plenty of other venues to take your children for Easter egg hunts in Northern Virginia whether they are located at a local farm, zoo, park, or even in your own backyard.

Organize Your Own
There are many wonderful Easter egg hunts in Northern Virginia but it is also fun to organize your own community Easter egg hunts with family and friends. I'm looking forward to the White House Easter Egg Roll and all of the other delightful Easter egg hunts but what I want my kids to remember is just the wonderful time they spent with family and friends over the Easter holiday season.
