Secrets and Scandals tour

Took the Secrets and Scandals tour with DC Free by Foot in this cool and pleasant summer evening starting from the Andrew Jackson Statue in the middle of Lafayette Square, just north of the White House (with two snippets walking on the roof), to explore some misfortunes and misbehaviors of Commanders-in-Chiefs, such as Inaugurations gone awry, duels, bigamy, curses, and affairs of the heart. For example, CIA lost Reagan's suit for 2 days after he was shot which had his wallet with the gold code for launching nuclear weapon, Jefferson has affairs with a slave who was his dead wife's half sister, Washington loved Sara Fairfax yet married Martha for her $, James Pope's wife established the musical ritual to get public notice of her short husband's entry to a venue, etc. We also witnessed a Marine One took off assuming with the U.S. President therein. — checked in to The White House.
