President-elect Carter spent most of his days before the inauguration at his home in Plains, Georgia. He and his family flew to Washington, D. President-elect Carter and his family stayed overnight at Blair House, making him the first president-elect to do so before his inauguration.
Afterwards the Carter family returned to Blair House before embarking on the traditional pre-inauguration ceremony visit to the White House. After the swearing-in ceremony the Carters elected to walk back to the White House along Pennsylvania Avenue. They spent time chatting with each other, casually sipping coffee in the Blue Room. It was a cold, icy day as Washington awaited the inauguration ceremony for President-elect Carter. The celebrations continued as the Inaugural Parade travelled down Pennsylvania Avenue.
Instead of riding in the presidential limousine, President Carter decided to walk the mile and a half from the Capitol to the White House. This was the first time a president walked the pavement of Pennsylvania Avenue after the inauguration ceremony. The transition into living at the White House went well for the Carter family, although they faced some surprises. The Carter family did not bring many possessions to the White House. They brought their clothes, books, papers and only a few treasured belongings.
The Carters wanted to keep their house in Georgia running as usual, and therefore decided not to bring larger items to their new home in Washington. President Carter also soon discovered that the president is responsible for paying for his own meals.
The only shock was that for the first ten days our food bill in the White House was six hundred dollars… We quickly discovered that the president himself pays for all personal meals, gifts and travel—for himself and for other family members as well. He began working towards this promise on Inauguration Day, walking down Pennsylvania Avenue and greeting attendees; this tradition remains to this day.
By doing so, President Carter created a new relationship between the Blair House and the president-elect.
