VIDEO: Woodinville Girl Dines with Michelle Obama at Kids State Dinner
Amber Kelley of Woodinville sat next to first lady Michelle Obama at the Kids State Dinner July 10 in Washington D.C.
Ten-year-old Amber Kelley can now say she's been to the White House – and not just for a tour.
The Woodinville girl was there this week after winning the Washington prize in the national "Healthy Lunchtime Challenge" to promote healthy, affordable, original and delicious" meals. Kelley's winning meal? Nummy No-Noodle Lasagna.
Not only did Kelley lunch with first lady Michelle Obama (and other winners), Kelley was seated right next to her.
On Twitter, Kelley documented her trip, posting pictures of her with President Barack Obama and the first lady. In one photo, she joked that the Michelle Obama was wanting her cornbread.
Perhaps this tweet sums up Kelley's feelings best: "Omg the best 4.5 hours of my life."
