First family settles in D.C. snapping pics, bowling

- — ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Backstage photos from the black-tie inaugural balls. A quick peek out the Truman Balcony to admire the view of Washington. A visit to the basement White House bowling alley.

President Trump’s grown children and their families have reveled in the first hours as the first family and have enthusiast­ically documented it all on social media.

The Trumps’ Twitter and Instagram accounts reveal much of the Trump clan as comfortabl­e with social media as its patriarch. Each of the grown children tracked their historic day as many Americans would — one post at a time.

Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest child, documented much of his Inaugurati­on Day on Instagram. He first posted a photo of his family riding in a presidenti­al limousine on the way to the U.S. Capitol Friday. Later, he posted a video of him dancing with his wife, Vanessa, at a ball, and then for his nightcap, an encounter at the family’s new Washington hotel with the cast of the reality show “Duck Dynasty” and a slightly disheveled Fox News personalit­y Sean Hannity.

Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, a senior adviser to the president, chronicled her family’s ride to the inaugural parade with an Instagram of the two of the couple’s children secure in car seats rolling to the viewing stand.

The Trump clan spent Friday night at the White House, as Trump himself had promised in the days before. Ivanka and Jared were spotted snapping photos yesterday morning on the Truman Balcony. Later, the Trumps tested out the bowling alley.
