Lunch at Succotash was something special. Jaxson picked it because they had a serious chicken sandwich. So all the kids ordered one and they got the fixins on the side. Our server. Juan, was very good but he had to leave us to get some emergency dental work. We ate our full but still had loads to take home. Lunch tomorrow is taken care of. We went to the White House next and looked longingly through the fence. A quick dance as we passed a trombone player and then it was the White House Visitor Center. We learned more about the White House here than we would have if we had been able to visit the actual White House. There were so many artifacts and informative displays here it was a great treat.
Succotash is located in an old bank building
Prime indeed
The interior was open and bright
This location was also a bar and there was a speakeasy as well
Great murals on the walls
So much to stack on the chicken sandwich
Chicken wings, mac n cheese and deviled eggs for Fritz
Watermelon and peanuts was intriguing
Leslie's chicken salad and Laura's soup in the background
Desserts for all the birthdays
One fine building after another
It certainly looks grand
In front of the bars
Layers of round windows
Visitor Center located
The ceiling was amazing
A little known fact, in the late 1940's the White House was determined to be a fire trap and had serious structural issues. The leg of the Truman's piano punched through the floor! The entire place was worked over with a new foundation and a skeleton of steel beams
A dapper George Washington
A plate from the Clinton administration
One huge silver centerpiece
Hiawatha was the theme
The Oval Office in action
A cross section of an Elm tree that was planted on the White House grounds back in the 1826
A fine weather vane
A rose by any other name is still a giant metal sculpture. At the Federal triangle we catch the train and head back to the house
