All About the FLOTUS' trip to Fayetteville

1. What cute shoes will Michelle Obama be wearing?

A: It was hard to tell in the rush, but they appeared to be gray or olive green, similar to Chuck Taylor Converse tennies, very stylish nonetheless. She later changed into a green jewel toned tank dress to greet the honoree, Barbara Marshall.

3. What part did she play in the makeover during the brief visit?

A: Online entertainment sources reported that the first lady was going to be filmed working in the backyard's green house and children's play area.

4. Did she drive or fly in; why was she late?

A: Being that she was in Virginia earlier in the day, and with air transportation afforded government officials (she's on Air Force One when she travels with her husband), it's safe to assume she flew in. Typically, Pope Field is the landing spot of choice, since it's easier to maintain operational security in the confined area with limited access to the public.

5. Were her daughters traveling with her?

A: Sasha and Malia were nowhere in sight.
